Iguana Panama Rum 5 Year Old (70cl, 40%)

A Panamanian rum made from molasses, combining Panamanian rum making with a recipe handed down from Cuba. It matures for five years in oak casks, developing a rounded flavour of pronounced vanilla, sugar cane sweetness, a little spice and a hint of oak. Its mild, slightly buttery character is accompanied by tropical fruit notes. At 40% vol it can be enjoyed on ice or used in long drinks, including Mojito and Cuba Libre. Exotic fruits and creamy vanilla lead the nose, with anise-like alcohol later; the palate is round and balanced, with pineapple and coconut alongside subtle oak spice; the medium finish leaves fruity notes and a syrup-like sweetness.
