Surrounded by Brazil, Bolivia and Argentina, Paraguay is a small country in Latin America, the only one without access to the sea.

Its hot and very humid climate makes it an excellent terroir for sugar cane, as for many other varieties of plants and trees. It is in the department of Cordillera, a hilly country with a pleasant climate, that the small town of Piribebuy is located. Javier Diaz de Vivar chose to settle there in 1993 to create a sugar cane farm. In a few years, his company became the main producer of cane sugar, appreciated for its high qualities. The sweet juice is also used to make rum, according to an original method: it is indeed concentrated under the effect of heat in metal evaporators, giving a kind of honey that is then fermented and will then be distilled in a column still. It is probably this unusual technique that gives rum a powerful character. With remarkable floral and herbaceous notes, sensitive especially in the 3 years of age. The distilled eau-de-vie will then be aged in oak barrels, then marketed in 3-year-old (Ripen) and 8-year-old (Black Label) versions.
