MacNair's Exploration Panama Billy Walker Tube 15yo is a rich and flavorful rum, initially matured in American oak casks in the tropical climate of Panama. The spirit was then transferred to The GlenAllachie Distillery in Speyside, Scotland, where it was expertly blended and underwent secondary maturation in Red Wine, Virgin Oak, and ex-Bourbon casks. This rum is a product of the combined expertise of Billy Walker, the current Master Blender at Scotland's GlenAllachie Distillery, who is renowned for pushing the boundaries of convention to create unique and remarkable whiskies and rums. This rum is a testament to his vision and craftsmanship. Aged for 15 years, it results in a smooth and well-rounded flavor profile. Limited to only 2400 bottles, this exquisite rum boasts an ABV of 46% and comes in a 700ml bottle.
This 15-year-old rum is very similar to the 7-year-old version but elevated in terms of flavor complexity, offering richer and more pronounced notes.
This rum features a delightful blend of fruity, oaky, earthy, and bittersweet notes, with hints of vanilla and woodiness.
While some may find the 46% ABV a bit strong initially, it is generally well-balanced, with the alcohol content complementing the complex flavor profile of the rum.
Overall, reviewers find this rum to be quite accessible with a nice fruity and vanilla profile, although some perceive a bit too much alcohol in the flavor at 46% ABV. The initial taste might seem a bit sharp, but it becomes rounder and more powerful with time. The flavor is described as oaky, earthy, and bittersweet, with a pleasant nose developing after the glass has stood for a while.
