Sugar Daddy

That sounds awesome. Do you have some photos you could share of the setup?

We have a cane farm in Florida. What type of liquid cane sugar?

All good. I’m not planning to research European rum laws. We move almost all of our stuff right here in the USA & Canada eh!. If anyone needs any let me know. Pretty well at sold out @ capacity for the next couple months (damn COVID) but would love to discuss. Europeans (apparently) and most Americans are missing out. Cheers!

Correct there are dozens of distilleries using it. We have folks buying full truckloads 40,000 lbs+ at a time. It is evaporated into a syrup, then dried into blocks (and/or grinded). It is very similar to syrup except with an infinite shelf life which is important in warm/tropical climates.

We have been distributing Panela for 10 years, and can give you plenty of information. Message me. Not sure on the EU regulations but a lot of people are using it all over the USA and worldwide. Not sure why it would not be rum though? It’s simply dehydrated cane juice from sugar cane. No different than molasses would be a biproduct. Molasses is used in something like 97% of rum out there so maybe folks want an alternative, and don’t live in cane country (like us in Florida that can source fresh pressed juice from our farm) that want something different. Cane juice goes bad in 24 hours so Panela is the closest alternative. Just my $.02

We make Panela. Located in Florida for pickup or also ship.

I have some 180 fresh dumped 53 gal rum barrels. Pm me

We have panela in the USA, and ship out as small as 25 kg bags to full containers. Sugardaddypanela@gmail.com

We produce sugar cane juice or panela. Please see the attached photo. Panela is nothing like non-GMO sugar, brown sugar or molasses for those that have tried it. We are family-owed and have distribution on both coasts and the Midwest. We offer Certified Organic as well as non-Certified product.

Emailed you a couple hours ago regarding the order, Chris. We are set. Panela available now in Southern California. Thanks for the comments Chris & Anthony. I have not heard it yet compared to tequila, but there are quite a few aging still. Cheers

The Caribbean produces (and consumes) the majority of the panela in the world. Country of origin varies by producer.

Yes sir, sent

No longer available

Jeff, sorry my ADI mailbox is/was full. I will clear it out... Bluestar, I emailed you pricing a couple weeks back, did it not get through?

Call the waiting list...

Thank you for all the kind comments. I also wanted to shout out to Michael at Old Harbor Distilling in everyone's favorite city, San Diego. They received 6 medals at the San Diego Spirits & Cocktail Competition, one of which being a silver, for their white unaged rum against much larger competitors. Current customers on the ADI forum... please let us know about your success so we can share. Cheers

Thanks for the shout, Scrounge & Joe. I did want to congratulate Walt & Mark @ Coppercraft Distillery in Holland, MI (current forum members) for medaling at ADI with their clear rum. They have a great setup, and would recommend you check them out if in the area.

We have had pretty good luck with a heat tunnel

Unless there are 1) no other alternative distribution options and 2) they can guarantee sales, it sounds like a raw deal for you. A lot of things can go wrong with a product launch, and you should protect yourself.

All sold. I might be able to get a few more down the road if people still need them.

I understand the Brown-Forman argument, we can't get it (at least at a competitive price), so why use it? It seems like GMO crops are banned in some 26 countries including Europe, Russia and China (of all places) among other places (see list below), maybe they are on to something? Shouldn't non-GMO for crop production be the standard? Assuming they find that GMO crops do have some life-shortening or other characteristics, do you really want to have a barrel house full of the stuff? I would think of buying organic as 1) offering a deciphering consumer a choice 2) insurance against someone finding a problem when enough time has passed for adequate research to be done (the delayed research to learn more about asbestos and radon gas in homes come to mind)...that's just the other side of the argument that I see. Since when has big business been an advocate for change, especially ones with a vested interest of increased profits (not having to buy more expensive ingredients) & tens of thousands of gallons of GMO spirits aging? If companies like Brown-Forman made it a priority to source Organic or Non-GMO ingredients, then maybe family farmers would plant more of them? They are basically taking no responsibility, its the farmers and the consumers, not us...that boiler plate paragraph seems like a great cop-out though...an effective way to play both sides of our discussion here. If consumers wake up like Europe and China, we might change our practices, if not, why change the status quo? Countries not allowing GMOs--Switzerland, Australia, Austria, China, India, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, Italy, Mexico and Russia.
