Pronounced Sel-Vuh-Ray, the brand name translates loosely from Spanish to 'King of the Jungle,' a nod to 'Don Pancho' carving his distillery and sugarcane fields out of the Panamanian wilderness, with the bottle signifying jungle regality.[3]

SelvaRey is currently distributed in California, Nevada, Hawaii, New York, New Jersey, Washington D.C., South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Arizona, Texas and Florida, and is sold outside of the United States in countries like Japan, the Philippines, and Costa Rica.[3]
