South America > Peru

Peru, land of the soaring Andes and the iconic Inca Trail, has a surprising rum scene alongside its famed Pisco brandy. Since 1929, rum production has flourished near the northern Pacific coast, taking advantage of the region’s climate. Distilleries use both pot and column stills, often employing the Solera method for ageing in unique casks like ex-bourbon, sherry, and even Slovenian barrels. Peruvian rum incorporates sugarcane from the Amazon rainforest, creating a link between these diverse regions. Peru is waiting to be discovered by curious rum explorers.
