Iguna 5 years old Reserva Especial Panama Dark Rum 70 cl 40%

From Panama's rich rum tradition comes this molasses-based rum, where five years on oak casks yields a gentle sweetness with roots reaching back to Cuban distilling style.

Expert Description

Iguana 5 Year Reserva Especial is a Panama Rum aged 5 years on oak casks and bottled at 40%.

The rum is distilled from molasses following a tradition that stems from Cuban distillers who brought their knowledge to Panama. The Reserva Especial edition is aged for at least five years, giving the rum time to absorb vanilla and spice from the oak casks, while retaining the light, dry style that Panama is known for in the world of rum.

The result is a smooth, approachable rum with warm cane sugar sweetness and a hint of spice from the cask ageing.
