El Supremo

El Supremo rum is produced by the Capasa distillery in Paraguay, which is one of only two distilleries in the country and has roots dating back to 1909. It is not a standalone entry on Wikipedia, but information about it can be found across various sources: Location: The rum is produced in the fertile plains of Paraguay from hand-harvested sugar cane. Production: It is an agricole style rum distilled from sugar cane honey in copper columns. The process is based on a traditional recipe that has remained unchanged for decades. Aging: A distinctive aspect of El Supremo is its aging process. The rum is partially aged in barrels made from Incienso Marrón (a native Paraguayan hardwood) before being moved to French oak barrels. Name Origin: The brand name "El Supremo" refers to José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia, a national hero and the first dictator who governed Paraguay after its independence from Spain. Company Structure: The company (Capasa) is notably run entirely by women. Products: The brand offers several varieties, including 5-year, 8-year, and 12-year aged rums, which are bottled without additives and are non-chill filtered.
