Transcontinental Rum Line Panama 2006 17 Year Old Rum - 55.9% 70cl

Distilled in a column still from fermented molasses and matured in an ex-bourbon barrel.

This single cask spent eight years in the tropical climate of Panama, before crossing the Atlantic Ocean for nine additional years of aging in Europe.

‘For me good quality rum falls into two categories; wonderfully herbal, challenging and subversive distillates such as deep aged Rhum Agricole, and full flavoured, relaxed, fruit bombs that are far too easy to quaff – this Panamanian undoubtedly falls into the latter category. One pint please.’ - Jonny McMillan, Assistant Reserve Spirits Manager, Berry Bros. & Rudd

A unique expression bottled at cask strength with no adulteration.

Nose: Ripe yellow fruit, delicate spice and morish molasses on the nose.

Palate: The palate delivers more in the way of orange zest and apricot drizzled with acacia honey.

Finish: This has a delicate complexity and lingering, thought provoking quality. One to ponder over.
