SelvaRey Rum is a US-based rum brand whose rums are distilled in Pesé, Panama by Master Blender Francisco "Don Pancho" Fernandez in four antique copper column stills.[2]
Pronounced Sel-Va-Rey, the brand name "translates loosely from Spanish to 'king of the jungle' (Selva-Rey)" and "is a nod to Fernandez carving his distillery and sugarcane fields out of the Panamanian wilderness, with the label's gorilla signifying jungle regality."[3]
SelvaRey is currently distributed in California, Nevada, Hawaii, New York, New Jersey, Washington D.C., South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Arizona, and Florida[3]
