The rum takes its name from a William Crawford Gorgas, a US Army surgeon that saved the lives of thousands of workmen as he eliminated yellow fever and malaria around construction sites.One of the many (and more humble) techniques William Crawford Gorgas used, was a maceration of local fruits and herbsin aged molasses rum. Legend has it that during the construction of the Panama Canal between 1880 and 1914, the hard labouring men used a blend of rum and dried fruit to cure everything, from a tired soul to insect bites and everything in- between. Believing in its miraculous effects, they called his potion serum. Back then, they used serum to cure all ills, today we use it to fight tough Mondays!
