Grander 12 years old Peated Finish Single Barrel Panama Rum 70 cl 62.3%

The whisky world's peat meets Panama's tropical rum tradition in this release, where the final two years on an Islay cask leave a marked impression.

Expert Description

Grander 12 Year Peated Finish is a Panama Rum, 12 years old, aged 10 years on ex-bourbon casks followed by 2 years of finishing on an ex-Islay Peated Scotch Whisky barrel, bottled at 62.3%.

The rum has aged for 12 tropical years in Panama. The first 10 years were spent on ex-bourbon casks before it was moved to an ex-Islay Peat Scotch Whisky barrel for the final 2 years - a finish that adds a marked hint of smoke to the otherwise classic Panama rum profile. The bottle comes from cask number IP2214, is undiluted and unfiltered, preserving the rum's full, powerful character.

Grander is known for experimenting with unusual whisky casks for finishing their Panama rum, giving the brand a distinct signature across its releases.
