Plantation Panama 27 Year Old Single Cask Rum (700ml)

This exceptionally old Panamanian rum was produced at the Alcoholes del Istmo Distillery using four column stills. Initially matured for 25 years in x Bourbon casks in the tropics, it was followed by ageing for 1.5 years in Ferrand casks in Europe, followed by a six month finishing in x-Teeling Irish whiskey barrels.

Part of Plantation's Single Cask series, like the rest of the range, these limited editions are matured in a two-stage process, beginning in the tropics and then at the Château de Bonbonnet in France. The point of difference is that the Single Casks are finished in complementary beer, wine or spirits casks, individually raised by Alexandre Gabriel (named World's Best Master Blender in 2012). Aimed at drinkers and collectors alike, only a few barrels are bottled annually with each bottle numbered.
