The Bellamy's Reserve Rum 1997 Panama is a distinguished single cask rum that stands as a testament to fine craftsmanship and meticulous aging. Distilled in 1997 from molasses using a column still, this exceptional rum underwent an initial eight-year maturation in Panama's tropical climate. It was then transferred to American bourbon casks and aged further in Europe, where it experienced a distinct continental climate. This meticulous aging process culminated in 2023, resulting in a 26-year-old rum that is a true rarity, with only 220 bottles available. Presented at cask strength and free of colorants, this rum offers an authentic and unadulterated experience.
Sporting a rich, dark color, the Bellamy's Reserve Rum 1997 Panama entices the senses with its complex aroma and flavor profile. On the nose, it reveals inviting notes of salted caramel, roasted hazelnut, nougat, and oak, accompanied by hints of nutmeg, pepper, and fruit compote. The palate is treated to a harmonious blend of hazelnut, salted caramel, and oak, with a peppery zest. The finish is long, complex, and earthy, leaving a memorable impression with its spicy undertones and cask-induced caramel sweetness.
