Plantation Rum Panama 2006 Vol 41.6% Cl 70

A limited edition rum distilled in Panama in 2006, at the Alcoholes del Istmo distillery. The molasses, after a three-day fermentation, is distilled in continuous columns, the resulting spirit is then aged first 11 years in ex-Bourbon barrels in the tropical climate of Panama, then aged for 2 years in small 350 lo ex-Cognac Ferrand barrels in France at Château de Bonbonnet. Particularly enjoyable neat, it presents on the nose with hints of incense, vanilla, and dulce de leche evolving into rose, dried apricots, and cinnamon, with final tips of coffee and bitter chocolate. Notes of tangerine and cedar zest, cocoa beans, and vanilla appear on the palate, fading into hints of almond, candied fruit, and wood. A smooth and balanced rum, a great drink
