Cana Brava Rum (1000ml)

Named after the wild sugar cane that grows in the central Panamanian province of Herrera, known for its super high sugar content that's perfect for making top grade molasses. The 86 Co have set out to create a rum made in the style that inspired so many classic cocktails like the Daiquiri, El Presidente, Cuba Libre, and Mojito; a “Carta Blanca”. It's a style of rum that tastes like sugar cane and is supported by the flavours from the oak, not the other way around. This rum has been aged for three years in a combination of new un-charred American oak and used American Whisky barrels, and then blended with older rums for consistency before being carbon filtered. Distillation takes place in a 1922 continuous copper and brass still under the supervision of a former Minister of Cuban Rum, "Don Pancho" J.Fernandez.

Tasting note: Clear. Attractive opening aroma offers suggestions of lime juice, unripe pineapple and vanilla custard. A silky entry leads into a svelte textured, light to medium bodied profile of custard and raw sugar to finish dry, balanced and with hints of citrus peel and dried banana accompanied by a mildly peppery kick. Good length. 43% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... “Wow, the juicy fruitiness (tropical) and cocoa bean bitterness in the opening whiffs set my imagination on fire.” Highly Recommended. - Spirit Journal December 2012
