El Ron del Artesano Panama Rum Peated Whisky Cask Finish 8yo is a distinctive and innovative expression from the visionary team at El Ron Del Artesano. Aged for 8 years, this extraordinary rum has been meticulously finished in peated Ben Nevis whisky casks, resulting in a unique fusion of rum and whisky characteristics. Bottled at 43.8% ABV and exclusively limited to 428 bottles, this 700ml gem promises a captivating journey through complex aromas and flavors. Upon a blind tasting, one might question whether it is a whisky or a rum. Prominent Islay notes, hints of peat, and typical whisky aromas initially dominate the nose. With a touch of time, ester, vanilla, and white wine nuances emerge, clearly indicating its rum origin with a whisky finish. On the palate, those Islay associations continue, intertwined with a pronounced sweetness, suggesting a possible addition of sugar. This intriguing rum draws comparisons to Our Rum and Spirit – Our Blend, and the Compagnie des Indes Boulet de Canon 4, although it presents drier characteristics. Tasting notes for this rum reveal its complexity: neutral grain alcohol on the nose, followed by smoky and grainy elements. The palate is rich with grain, oat flavors, and a hint of apple. Though the finish is somewhat lacking, it strongly resembles a whisky profile, making it a polarizing drink. Some appreciate its uniqueness, while others feel it deviates too much from traditional rum flavors. Overall, El Ron del Artesano Panama Rum Peated Whisky Cask Finish 8yo is a bold and noteworthy option for those eager to explore diverse flavor profiles within the rum world. Its peated whisky cask finish adds a layer of depth and complexity that challenges conventional rum experiences.
