RomDeLuxe Wild Series Rum 24 Panama 70 cl 63,95%

It matured for 20 years in Panama's tropical heat before RomDeLuxe flew the rum to Denmark and gave it another 30 months in a cask that once shaped an Islay Whisky, a peaty detour few Panama rums ever take.

Expert Description

RomDeLuxe Wild Series Rum #24 Panama Single Cask is a Panama Rum, distilled in 1999 and aged a total of 22 years, bottled at 63.95%.

The rum was distilled on column and pot stills at a Panamanian distillery in 1999 and aged 20 years in the country's tropical climate, before being shipped to Denmark, where RomDeLuxe matured it a further 30 months in a cask that previously held Islay Whisky. The Scottish peat influence is unusual for a Panama rum and gives the bottle a pronounced smoky, woody character normally associated with peated Scotch rather than Latin American rum. Cask number 346 produced only 242 numbered bottles in March 2022.

The result is a rich, aromatic rum where smoke, wood and vanilla meet a sweet caramel base.
