Rum Nation Panama 2015 Release Solera 18 years old Rum 40%

The solera system comes from Spain, but Rum Nation has used it to create one of its most acclaimed Panama releases.

Expert description

Rum Nation Panama Release Solera 18 Years is a Rum from Panama, blended solera-style, where the oldest distillate in the bottle is 18 years, bottled at 40%.

The rum combines sugar cane's natural richness with a Spanish-inspired distillation and maturation style, resulting in a light, soft and aromatic rum with great complexity. The sugar content is reduced to below 20 grams per litre, setting it apart from many sweeter Panama rums and highlighting the underlying distillate rather than added sweetness.
