Ron Artesano Rum 10 Year Old Peated Islay Cask Finish (20cl, 44.7%)

A ten-year-old Panamanian rum from Ron Artesano, bottled at 44.7% in a 20cl bottle. It combines the fruity-sweet character of this Panama rum with the smoky influence of a cask previously used for peated Islay whisky. Drawn from cask 314-22, it adds citrus, chocolate and nougat to the smoke, with wood and spice giving further shape. It is bottled without added sugar, added aromas, chill filtration or colouring. The nose has fine smoke with lemon, orange and lime, plus nougat, chocolate, forest honey and a hint of sea salt. The palate brings clear smoke with spicy wood, bitter orange and lime peel, sweet-fruity citrus, honey sweetness and dark chocolate. The finish is long, with dry wood, sea salt, a mineral note, dark chocolate and smoky, salty undertones.
