Bodegas Papiamento
Award Winning Spirits
The lively and intense character of Papiamento Aruba Reserve is the perfect expression of the One Happy Island spirit. Its innovative blend of Caribbean alcohols aged up to 15 years in a combination of old and new world barrels, lives up to its name.
Papiamento, a language that “blends” African, Spanish, Portuguese, English, Dutch and the words of the native Arawak people who inhabited the area before the conquest.
