Ron 1914 Panama (70cl, 41.3%)

Ron 1914 Panama is a premium rum from Panama, named after the year the Panama Canal was completed. It blends 80% continuous-column distillate with 20% pot-still distillate, aged from 12 to 22 years in ex-bourbon oak casks. It opens with orange and ginger, followed by chocolate and caramel, and ends in a silky, persistent finish. The 41.3% alcohol gives it a character distinct from other Central American rums in the Spanish style. It has a particularly round taste, in the Spanish tradition, without being cloying.
