The El Ron del Artesano Panama Ruby Port Finish 8yo is a premium rum hailing from the less conventional rum-producing region of Panama. This meticulously crafted rum is distilled from molasses and boasts a unique finishing process. Paying homage to Viktor, a passionate early 20th-century rum aficionado, this exquisite rum is the result of his legacy passed down through five generations of the founding family. Released by the independent bottler El Ron del Artesano, this rum is a true testament to the art of rum making.
After distillation, the rum is aged for up to seven years in ex-Bourbon barrels sourced from the USA. It is then transferred to former European wine barrels, which impart a distinct twist to its flavor profile. This final period of aging in Amarone wine-influenced barrels results in a bold, fruity aroma with notes of cherries, berries, and a subtle sweetness.
The taste journey begins delicately and intensifies over time, offering flavors of red fruits and a nuanced feinherb aftertaste. The Amarone barrel's influence is evident in its light wood undertones and a delicate bittersweet, nutty nougat note. The finish is medium-long, harmonious, and characterized by hints of walnuts and berry fruitiness.
This limited release, with only 276 bottles available, offers an aroma of berries, port, alcohol, dried fruit, and smoky hints. The flavor profile is mild and sweet, featuring berries, cocoa, and woody undertones. While the port-infused finish has received mixed reviews, some enthusiasts praise its balance and complexity, making it an intriguing choice for those in search of a uniquely different rum experience.
No, the El Ron del Artesano Panama Ruby Port Finish 8yo does not contain any added sugars, additives, or artificial coloring. It is an honest and authentic rum.
The aroma is fruity and sweet with notes of cherries and plums. The taste is mildly sweet, spicy, and woody, with a less pronounced fruity profile than the aroma. The finish is short and moderately pleasant.
This is a limited release with only 276 bottles available.
Overall, reviewers found the El Ron del Artesano Panama Ruby Port Finish 8yo to be a mild and balanced rum with a fruity and sweet aroma. Some noted a slightly alcoholic and spicy taste with a woody finish. While the port finish was subtle and received mixed feedback, some appreciated its smoothness and intricacy. However, a few reviewers felt it was too diluted, which impacted its overall depth and complexity.
