About Flor de Caña
Flor de Caña is a single-estate Nicaraguan rum distilled and aged at the Pellas family's San Cristóbal volcano estate since 1890, when Alfredo Francisco Pellas Canessa set out to make what he intended to become one of the world's most refined spirits from Nicaragua's own volcanic terroir. It is sold across a range of age statements and has, according to the brand's own materials, been named Global Rum Producer of the Year at the International Wine and Spirit Competition and recognised at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition; the company also promotes a carbon-neutral certification and a programme that has planted more than a million trees since 2005.

Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua is the family-owned distiller behind Flor de Caña rum, tracing itself to Alfredo Francisco Pellas Canessa, an Italian who emigrated to Nicaragua and, after an earlier venture running a Gold Rush-era steamboat route across the country, set out in 1890 to make rum near the base of the San Cristóbal volcano. The company, part of the wider Pellas family business group, is now run by a fifth generation and distils at the Chichigalpa estate its own materials describe as sitting on volcanic, mineral-rich terroir near the Pacific coast.
