Transcontinental Rum Line Panama 2015

If the Transcontinental Rum Line Jamaica 2016 is all funk and fire, the Panama 2015 is the elegant counterpart — rounder, softer, and a masterclass in what six years of tropical aging near the Panama Canal can produce from a column still. Produced from fermented molasses and distilled in column stills in 2015, the Panama 2015 was aged for six full years in tropical conditions near the Panama Canal in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, then transported to France where it was bottled at 43% ABV with no added coloring or sugar. The Transcontinental Rum Line concept — created by the renowned Parisian spirits house La Maison du Whisky — celebrates the historic voyage of rum across the globe, and this expression perfectly embodies the elegance that Panama's tropical climate and column still production can deliver. Aromas of candied orange peel, coconut, apricot, and caramel fill the nose, while the palate develops chocolate, vanilla, chestnuts, honeysuckle, violets, honey, and tobacco lingering through the finish. Rich with warm citrus and stewed stone fruits on the nose, the palate brings lively ginger and sugar cane developing into salted butter, finishing with freshly roasted coffee. Best explored neat or over a single ice block. Buy Transcontinental Rum Line Panama 2015 online with fast shipping right to your door.
