Frigate Reserve 8 Year Old Rum (75cl, 40%)

Frigate Reserve 8 Year Old Rum is the youngest expression in Frigate's Panamanian range, bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle after eight years in oak casks. It is blended down from a 21-year-old master blend developed with Don Pancho Fernández, giving it a more mature, rounded character than a typical eight-year-old rum. The style is clean and drier, aimed at drinkers coming from bourbon, whisky or scotch. Deep amber in the glass, with aromas of caramel, vanilla and oak plus a hint of dried fruit. The palate is smooth and complex, with caramel, vanilla, oak, dried fruit and subtle spice, leading to a long, elegant finish with a touch of sweetness.
