Panama Pacific 9 Year Rum
$41.50
A Spanish-style molasses-derived rum made at the Ingenio San Carlos distillery in Panama. Distilled in Coffey copper column still to a slightly lower proof than is normal, creating a richer, fuller flavor and character. The rum is rested in Kentucky bourbon casks initially for three years. Samples of that young rum are then carefully reviewed to determine integrity for a potentially longer aging regimen. Those rum selections deemed worthy of an extended maturation are then transferred into exhausted Tennessee whiskey barrels, whose oak flavors are more depleted, for a gentle imparting of vanilla, caramel and butterscotch notes without over-dominating our balanced cane and molasses essence.
