Their judges are top bartenders, mixologists, and chefs in the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Adds Powers: &#8220;This newest recognition is tribute to our rapidly growing base of Parce fans in <span class=\"xn-location\">Colombia<\/span> and throughout <span class=\"xn-location\">Latin America<\/span>. Now that we have an exclusive supplier for Parce in the US via importer Turquoise Life, Parce is poised for further growth throughout the US too.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The Powers brothers and <span class=\"xn-person\">Jaime Uribe<\/span> selected Bogot\u00e1-based father and son duo, Master Blenders Arthur and Brojen Fernandes Domecq, to blend an aged rum with a dry, whiskey-like finish for PARCE that the brothers favor. Brojen and Arthur artfully produce PARCE in <span class=\"xn-location\">Armenia<\/span>, Quindio Colombia, blending select distillates sourced from <span class=\"xn-location\">Latin America<\/span> and the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The spirit of family, community and craftsmanship is reflected in the very name of the rum itself: &#8220;Parce&#8221; is slang in <span class=\"xn-location\">Medellin, Colombia<\/span> for &#8220;buddy&#8221; or &#8220;pal,&#8221; spoken among friends. The perfect moniker for a small rum company of pals now finding success in the crowded world of international spirits.<\/p>\n<p>For its founders, PARCE also means friend to <span class=\"xn-location\">Colombia<\/span> and friend to the Earth. Since the very first bottle sold, PARCE has planted more than 22,000 native species trees in <span class=\"xn-location\">Colombia<\/span> to slow deforestation there.
