HACIENDA LA CARLINA

Located in San Francisco de Sales, Cundinamarca, in the Gualivá region, one of Colombia’s largest pure water sources.

La Carlina is a farm that is over 200 years old, located on the old mule trade route that connected Bogota to the port of Honda, on the Magdalena River.

The house at La Carlina has served many purposes in its long existence: it has served as an inn for travelers going from Bogota to Honda when traveling was done by horse or mule, was the scene of the legendary Battle of the Yaque, was a convent and a coffee trading house between merchants from Bogota and the lower mountainous regions.

Our distillery is part of Colombian history in every bottle we produce.

DISTILLERY

We are the first Craft and Independent Distillery in Colombia in 200 years of republican history.

Our  fermentation process is slow and at low temperatures, adding more natural flavor to our products.

The distilled mash is made from virgin molasses or cane juice, passing through our hybrid 9-plate copper still, to obtain a high-quality sugarcane alcohol with an unparalleled taste and smoothness.

SUSTAINABILITY

We cultivate our own organic sugar cane, protect our water sources, and use cane bagasse as our heating fuel, ensuring a sustainable and circular process.

We support local farmers in the Gualiva region by purchasing molasses and sugarcane with stable long term contracts, giving them future economic certainty. Among our collaborators, we prioritize the hiring of single mothers and victims of violence that need a second chance in life.

The Trapiche (Cane Mill) and Distillery serve as a community workshop. With the support of Fedepanela, we train employees and local sugarcane farmers in good farming, milling, and distillation practices for those who would like to pursue the trade.

In Colombia, there are over 250,000 sugarcane farming families, and we want to contribute to the sustainability and growth of our industry and their livelihoods.
