South America > Paraguay

Paraguay, a landlocked nation blessed with the Guarani Aquifer, the world’s purest freshwater reserve, boasts a unique rum story. Dense rainforests and sweltering, humid climates define the landscape. Despite lacking a coastline, Paraguay has embraced rum since the 1990s, crafting it from a distinctive ingredient: cane honey. This “Caña Paraguaya” is essentially a rum-like eau-de-vie. European settlers’ influence in distilling has both pot and column stills, with some employing charcoal filtration for added smoothness. Rums from the world’s oldest organic and Fairtrade certified sugar mill, adding a sustainability to their rum-making.
