The story
No official website for the brand was identified. Available information indicates that Pichincha bottles are rums of Ecuadorian origin imported and distributed on the European market by specialized operators (including Italian companies). Product sheets focus on individual expressions and cask finishes.
Production philosophy
Commercial descriptions show a focus on aged rums finished in selected casks, with particular attention to sherry cask finishes to develop aromatic complexity.
Territory
Ecuador (origin of the rum); distribution and commercialization in Europe, with Italian and French channels detected in sources.
Production method
Available product data indicate Pichincha cuvées are traditional molasses-based rums, distilled in column stills; aging occurs in wooden casks and in some cases a finish in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks is applied.
Distillation
column distillation (column still) — indicated in product sheets
Ageing
aged in oak casks with an additional Pedro Ximénez finish for some expressions
