Tenango Rum
Many in Philadelphia know Sofia Deleon through her popular restaurant chain, El Merkury. Deleon has taken on a new venture, Tenango Rum, creating a unique blend of flavors deeply rooted in Guatemalan culture and heritage.
Through Tenango, Deleon hopes to shift the perception of rum from a mere mixer to a premium sipping experience. Beyond evolving rum, the brand’s mission revolves around celebrating Guatemalan traditions and supporting local workers. Each bottle features a handmade sheath from Guatemala, a direct nod to the cultural heritage and a means for local artisans to earn a sustainable income.
In essence, Tenango Rum is a blend of taste, tradition, and empowerment, making it more than just a spirit but a symbol of culture and community.
