Panamá-Pacific 23 Year is the hallmark expression of this distinguished Panamanian rum house. Freshly distilled sugarcane spirit is laid into used American oak bourbon casks for three years, then finished for a full 20 years in toasted (not charred) Tennessee and Canadian rye whiskey casks — a 23-year maturation that yields extraordinary depth. Aromas of vanilla, coconut, banana, and cherry-almond pastry lead to a palate of caramel custard, dried fruit, and warm spice, finishing dry, oaky, and remarkably balanced — not sweet, but velvety smooth. A connoisseur's aged rum at a remarkable price for its age statement.
