3) FLOR DE CAÑA RUM SPONSORS THE KICK OFF EVENTS IN MEXICO - 
 

Near
the base of the San Cristóbal volcano in northwestern Nicaragua sits
the Flor de Caña rum distillery. This fifth-generation, family-owned
business has been making rum since it was founded in 1890 by Alfredo
Francisco Pellas Canessa, an Italian immigrant. Today, the distillery’s
core lineup consists of both light and dark rum expressions, aged
naturally (with no added sugar) between four and 25 years in white oak
ex-bourbon barrels that are sealed with plantain leaves.
