Owner Bruno Mars has SelvaRey’s legendary Maestro Ronero, Francisco “Don Pancho” Fernandez aging rum between fifteen to twenty-five years to create the ultimate vacation in a glass. He hand selects his finest vintages to create this incredible luxury blend.

SelvaRey Owner’s Reserve is presented in a strikingly elegant bottle. The beautiful spirit inspired Bruno Mars to design its deep green bottle and vibrant package, reminiscent of the lush jungle. SelvaRey rum is created on a single estate in the jungles of Panama. Hundreds of people work together to make this rum starting from harvesting the sugarcane, to pressing the juice, fermentation, distillation, aging, blending and bottling.

Panama is the ideal sugarcane growing region for heat and rain. Sitting above the equator, Panama receives nine-months of intense rains. Growing in mineral-rich soil, rivers fed from mountain springs provide the water it needs to grow healthy sugarcane.

According to the SelvaRey website, Rum is like no other spirit. “The fermentation is completed with a proprietary yeast derived from wild pineapples. The rum is distilled in unique 1922 antique copper column stills, imparting a signature softness to the clear liquid. SelvaRey is then aged in hand-selected casks sourced from the most well-respected cooperages in the world.”

Pouring the extremely limited SelvaRey Owner’s Reserve into a glass offers aromas of caramelized brown sugar, pipe tobacco, Pedro Ximenez sherry, and orange peel. Take a sip and let it linger to experience silky notes of baked apple crumble and roasted Brazilian nut.

This special bottle sold out within 2 hours of its original release on Reserve Bar at $149.99 a bottle. Fans can sign up on an email waiting list when they re-stock this holiday in a bottle.

Other SelvaRey Rums include a velvety smooth white rum offering notes of vanilla and citrus. This rum is priced much less and is ideal for mint mojitos, Pina coladas and Cuba Libres.
