What it is
The dry spirit: seco — Panama's crystal-clear cane spirit (Seco Herrerano, since 1908, from Varela Hermanos in Pesé), distilled from cane and traditionally drunk with milk ('seco con leche'), cranberry, or in the chichita — the working drink of the interior. Origins: seco evolved from the aguardientes of the Azuero peninsula; Varela Hermanos (founded by a Spanish immigrant) made it national. Made from: sugar cane juice/molasses, distilled and filtered to dryness. How it's made: 1) Ferment cane. 2) Distil multiple times in columns. 3) Bottle crystal and dry. Served: with milk over ice (the classic), in cocktails, at cantinas with boleros. Flavor: dry, clean, faintly sweet cane. Strength: 35-40%. Culture: seco con leche at an Azuero cantina is Panama's interior soul. See also: Panamanian Aged Rum.
