SBS Panama 2010/2023 Single Barrel Selection 13 yr Bourbon and Virgin Oak Cask Rum 70 cl 55%

Green apples, dried fruit and a touch of almonds. Panama makes rum in a light, fresh style, and here virgin oak has added spice on top.

Expert Description

S.B.S Panama 2010 Bourbon and Virgin Oak Cask is a Panamanian Rum matured in ex-Bourbon and virgin oak casks and bottled at 55%. It is a single cask rum made from molasses and distilled in a column still in 2010. After 13 years in cask, 1423 World Class Spirits bottled it in August 2023 as part of the S.B.S Single Barrel Selection series, non chill filtered and with no additives.

The virgin oak gives a spicy, woody character, which the bourbon cask rounds off with sweet caramel. The result is a dry rum with a fresh start and a finish that lasts.

Only 419 bottles were filled, all of them bottled exclusively for the Danish market.

Frequently Asked Questions About S.B.S Panama 2010 Bourbon and Virgin Oak Cask

What does S.B.S Panama 2010 taste like?

Green apples and a mix of dried fruit with a hint of almonds on the nose. On the palate it is spicy and woody with sweet caramel, and the finish is dry and long.

What does virgin oak do to a rum?

Virgin oak is a new, unused oak cask. It gives more spice and wood flavour than a used cask. Here it is combined with an ex-Bourbon cask, which adds sweet caramel.

How do you serve a Panamanian Rum at 55%?

Neat and at room temperature in a whisky glass, with a few drops of water if you like. The water opens up the aroma and lets apples and almonds stand out more.

What goes well with S.B.S Panama 2010?

Almond cakes, dried fruit and dark chocolate mirror the nose and the dry finish. Apple tarts work too.

Is S.B.S Panama 2010 a rum for collectors?

It is first of all for drinking, but a small run of 419 bottles and an exclusive bottling for the Danish market make it interesting.

What is S.B.S?

S.B.S stands for Single Barrel Selection and is a series of single cask bottlings from 1423 World Class Spirits, a Danish company that selects casks from distilleries around the world instead of distilling itself.
