Plantation Rum Panama 2008 is a 2008-vintage rum distilled by Alcoholes del Istmo in Panama and bottled at 45.7% ABV after a double-aging process. It spent 12 years aging in ex-bourbon barrels in the tropics, then one year in France in ex-Ferrand cognac casks before bottling. The release belongs to Plantation Rum’s “Under the Sea” Vintage Collection
The palate shows loads of fruit, pineapple but also grapefruit peel and a hint of coconut sweetness. Cayenne and cinnamon sizzle enlivens butterscotch richness on the finish.
