Yolo Rum

YOLO Rums have been created to meet a growing demand for quality rums in an exploding market. They are the perfect marriage of an ancient craft with modern tastes. YOLO, Ltd., founded in Denver, Colorado, has established a partnership with Consorsio Licorero Nacional S.A. of Panama City, Panama. It is a unique pairing that benefits rum aficionados searching for the ultimate rum experience. YOLO Rums are made from rare strains of sugar cane found only in a small areas of Central America and the Caribbean. A specially prepared sugar cane juice is fermented and distilled through a complex, five- stage series of operations. Then “Don Pancho” Fernandez works his magic. He dictates how and for how long the rum will be stored before he decides which blends he will craft into either light or dark liquors. Under his watchful care, the aging of the rums in charred barrels takes care of the rest. And, finally, YOLO is born. Also of note are the added environmental benefits of the YOLO process. The sugar cane plant fiber is used to fuel the boilers that power the electrical turbines used at the factory. Any extra power goes into a grid for general use of the population. This revolutionary process has provided the distillery with a surplus of carbon credits.
