Panama Pacific 9 Year Old Rum (75cl, 47.3%)

Panama Pacific 9 Year Old Rum is a Panamanian rum aged a minimum of nine years. It spends three years in used American oak bourbon casks, then six more years in used Tennessee and Canadian rye whiskey casks that were toasted, not charred. It is distilled at Las Cabras from molasses made from estate-grown cane, fermented with a proprietary yeast partially derived from pineapple. Per the distillery notes, the aroma shows warm butter, flan-style caramel custard and golden raisin over spiced dried cherry and apricot. The palate moves from sweet caramel to charred wet wood and golden raisin, then coconut husk and banana, into a long, buttery wood finish.
