RUM

EXPOSICIÓN PANAMÁ-PACIFIC PANAMA Exposición Panamá-Pacific Rum is a Spanish-style molasses derived rum made at the Ingenio San Carlos distillery in Panama. Production begins deep in the country’s interior, in the Provencia de Herrera region, where we harvest our sugar cane. Once harvested, we extract the succulent juices within a short twelve-hour window in order to retain their bright, fresh sweetness. begins with freshly distilled sugarcane being laid into used American Oak bourbon whiskey casks for initially for 3 years before a 6-year finishing in used Tennessee and Canadian rye whiskey casks that have been toasted, not charred. Panamá-Pacific 3yr Blanco 80PF / 1.0L Our Blanco 3 Year rum displays subtle tropical aromas of gardenia and jasmine balanced with a vegetal tang of fresh green sugarcane.

Panamá-Pacific Rum 5yr 85.7PF / 750ML The nose on the 5 Year displays prominent honeysuckle blooms mixed with soft vanilla and dark caramel.

Panamá-Pacific Rum 15yr 84.2PF / 750ML For the 15 Year expression, freshly distilled sugarcane is laid into used American Oak bourbon whiskey casks for initially for 3 years before a 12-year finishing in used Tennessee and Canadian rye whiskey casks that have been toasted, not charred.
