Licores Don Tañan

Licores Don Tañan (LDT) is an Ardispherian spirits producer and distributor. The large, privately held compnay is headquartered at Avenida Ístmo No. 299, Barrio Centro in Volquete, DC. Originally a distiller of the eponymous Guasco Don Tañan (guasco is a popular type of Ardispherian brandy), the company has since come to encompass over 30 different brands and has production, distillation and export-import facilities throughout the world.

History

The name Don Tañan is presumed to be a nickname or reference to the founder of the company, Partenio St-Pierre ("Tañan" is an uncommon but documented variant of "Teño", which is in turn a common shortening of "Partenio"). Historically, the company was called Destilerías San Pedro, based on a Castellanization of the founder's name, but in the 1950s the company renamed itself after its best-selling product. Although within the Ardisphere, its guasco remains its flagship and best-known product, worldwide it is the only the company's 5th best-selling product. The company remains wholly under the ownership of the 5th generation of the St-Pierre family, making them one of the wealthiest families in the Ardisphere.
