SelvaRey Rum in the UK

SelvaRey is a Panamanian rum co-owned by Bruno Mars. It has no confirmed UK distributor, so bottles are hard to find.

Updated . Edited by: Ilyass Ben Hakim.

Where to buy

SelvaRey is distributed in the US, Japan and Greater China. No official UK importer was found when this page was written.

UK buyers can ask specialist rum shops to special order it. Some independent importers bring in small lots.

Professional insight

UK spirits merchants check who imported a US only brand. Duty paid status matters before the bottle itself.

  • UK stock is usually 70cl, not US 750 ml.
  • A UK importer address belongs on the back label.
  • Flavored SelvaRey bottles are below 40% ABV.
  • Owner's Reserve is allocated, so expect very few bottles.
