The product appeared in trade lists and reviews between 2022–2023 and is presented as a rum whose raw materials are Guatemalan (sugarcane/molasses, cacao and coffee) with subsequent maturation and infusion stages.
Production philosophy
The brand emphasizes Guatemala's tropical origin and biodiversity, celebrating local ingredients (sugar/cane, cacao, coffee) and offering a rum with an intense, gourmand aromatic profile designed for neat tasting or as an ingredient in cocktails and dessert pairings.
Territory

According to available commercial datasheets, the product is produced from a rum distilled from Guatemalan molasses/cane juice, aged in oak barrels and subsequently infused (maceration) with selected cacao beans and coffee beans.
