Exploration Rum
Panama 7 Year Old
Located in Central America, Panama’s volcanic soil is the ideal growing environment for the key ingredient in rum-making: sugar cane. This was what drew Master Blender, Billy, to seek out the best rum the country has to offer.
Distilled from sugar cane molasses, this exceptional spirit was initially matured in American oak in the tropical Panamanian climate. After being personally selected by Billy, the spirit was transferred to the much cooler environment at the GlenAllachie distillery in Scotland.
Once expertly blended, the rum was transformed with secondary maturation in red wine, virgin oak and ex-Bourbon casks for over 2 years, then presented at 46% ABV, with no added colouring or chill filtration.
