Malteco 20 Year Old Rum (70cl, 40%)

Malteco Reserva del Fundador is a Panamanian aged rum made from fresh sugar cane juice, fermented and distilled in a column still. It matures for at least 20 years in oak casks, following a recipe handed down from Guatemala. Roasted spices and woody tobacco notes shape its intense aroma, complemented by sweet fruit and chocolate notes. It is bottled at 40% vol in a 70cl bottle and comes with a gift box. The quetzal bird motif appears on both bottle and box. On the nose, intense toffee and vanilla notes lead, with dark fruits and oak. The palate combines dark chocolate and wood with vanilla pudding, plus hints of nuts and raisins. The medium-length finish ends with velvety wood notes.
