Parce (rum)

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Parce Rum is a rum brand that originated in Colombia. It is known for its unique aging process and distinct flavor profile. The brand was founded by brothers Brian and Jim Powers in 2013, who were inspired by the rich history and culture of Colombia.

History[edit | edit source]

Parce Rum was founded by the Powers brothers, who were originally from Chicago, Illinois. They were inspired to create their own rum brand after visiting Colombia and falling in love with the country's culture and spirit. The name "Parce" is a colloquial term in Colombia, roughly translating to "friend" or "buddy", reflecting the brand's philosophy of friendship and camaraderie.

Production[edit | edit source]

Parce Rum is produced using a blend of locally sourced sugarcane from the fields of Colombia. The sugarcane is harvested and processed into molasses, which is then fermented and distilled to produce rum. The rum is aged in white oak barrels, which gives it its distinctive flavor and color. The aging process varies depending on the type of rum, with the Parce 8-Year and 12-Year being the most popular variants.

Variants[edit | edit source]

Parce Rum offers several variants, each with its own unique flavor profile and aging process. The Parce 8-Year is a blend of rums aged for eight years, offering a smooth and balanced flavor with notes of caramel and oak. The Parce 12-Year is a more mature variant, with a deeper flavor profile featuring notes of dark chocolate and tropical fruits.

Awards and Recognition[edit | edit source]

Parce Rum has received numerous awards and recognition for its quality and flavor. It has won multiple gold medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, one of the most prestigious spirits competitions in the world. It has also been recognized by the Beverage Testing Institute, receiving high ratings for its 8-Year and 12-Year variants.

Environmental Initiatives[edit | edit source]

In addition to producing high-quality rum, Parce Rum is also committed to environmental sustainability. The company has a tree-planting initiative in Colombia, where they plant a tree for every bottle of rum sold. This initiative is part of their commitment to giving back to the Colombian community and preserving the natural beauty of the country.
