ENJOY THE TASTE OF PANAMA!
The roots of Heffron Rum go back to the distillery in Las Cabras de Pesé in Panama, partnered with Czech Green Tree - the oldest distillery in Europe. The spiritual father of Heffron is master blender Francisco Fernández, also known as “Don Pancho”.
Heffron is a young brand, that was first produced in 2019 for the hundredth anniversary of the American ship Heffron's journey, transporting Czechoslovak legionnaires through Panama back to their homeland. This rum pays tribute to all the heroes who showed incredible bravery and determination in the fight for the freedom we have in Europe today.

FROM SUGAR CANE TO RUM
RAW MATERIAL SELECTION AND FERMENTATION
The whole production process begins with a careful selection of high quality sugar cane to obtain molasses. The carbohydrates contained in the molasses are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide by the action of yeast in the fermentation process. Fermentation itself is exothermic (releases heat), so the fermentation tanks have to be cooled with water. A constant fermentation temperature of 32°C and a pH between 4.0 - 4.5 are maintained.
Distillation and Maturation
After the fermentation process is completed, the next stage is distillation.
Heffron Rum is made using continuous distillation, sometimes called column distillation. This is the most common method used in rum production. The Panama distillery has a column of enormous dimensions. It contains several dozen distillation plates, making the distillation multi-stage. Thanks to this, the young Heffron Rum is very pure, however it still contains the key elements carrying the desired sugar cane flavours.
OUR OWN CRAFTMANSHIP
Bottling: the rum is transported by ship from Panama in barrel strength of 74% ABV. to our distillery. Before bottling, the rum continues to mature, where the conditions of the Prostějov cellar differ significantly from the climate of Panama.
Heffron therefore gets such character from the barrels, that it could never get only in Panama. Before bottling, the rum acquires the required strength of 38% or 40%, at which its taste properties stand out the best.
