The Distillery: Originally from Genoa, the Pellas family chose to settle in Nicaragua at the end of the 1800s. It was exactly 1890, when in Chichigalpa, about one hundred and twenty kilometers away from Managua, the Pellas, after having identified a very suitable land, they begin to start a large sugar cane cultivation. Forty years later, precisely in 1937, an independent distillery was founded on the same plantation, at the time called Compañia Licorera de Nicaragua, which would later become Flor de Caña. From 1937, therefore, a history of great successes began. In 1950, just nine years after its birth, the Pellas distillery became the first distributor of Rum in Nicaragua, and continuing with the dates, we arrive at 1959, the year in which the Slow Aged Rum branded "Flor de Caña" arrived, first among others, in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala and Venezuela. In the same year, the brand was enhanced thanks to the launch of the famous "etiqueta negra". From the 1960s to the 1990s, after opening a branch in Honduras, the distillery also underwent important renovations, thanks to which it was equipped with the most modern technologies in the sector. At the same time, new foreign markets were "conquered", so the Pellas family Rums also landed in Central American countries. Currently, it is the fifth consecutive generation that runs the company, whose bar is always kept straight towards those who have been the cornerstones of the company since its origins, for which total control of each production step is aimed at monitoring scrupulously every single phase, from the cultivation of the raw material to the final marketing. Today Rum Flor de Caña is known throughout the world as the five-star rum, being the only one produced from estate plantations and completely produced on site. Rum capable of reaching very high quality levels.
