History

Flor de Caña is made by Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua, S.A, (CLNSA) Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua was founded in 1937. Initially the company sought to develop a large sugarcane plantation so they built their first distillery in Chichigalpa (about 120 km from Managua) in 1890. The company was founded by the great-grandfather of the current president, who moved from Italy to Nicaragua in 1875.

After building the distillery, it was not until 1937 that Flor De Caña was introduced by CLNSA. Grupo Pellas was founded in 1950. It was the first company to distribute the rum, and in 1959 it was first exported to Venezuela, Costa Rica and other Central American countries.

During 1963 and 1965 the plantation in Chichigalpa underwent modernization updates. Eight years later a second distillery was constructed in Honduras. The distillery in Chichigalpa was completely modernized in 1996. The company now sponsors the Flor de Caña Open, an event on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica, in addition to international bar-mixing competitions.
