Panama Pacific Ron de Panama Jose Fernandes 15yo is a distinguished rum from the renowned San Carlos distillery in Panama. Aged for a significant 15 years, this rum undergoes a meticulous maturation process. Initially, it spends three years in ex-bourbon casks, which adds a foundational layer of complexity. Following this, the rum is transferred to roasted Tennessee and Canadian rye whiskey casks for an additional 12 years, imparting deeper, richer flavors. The result is a sophisticated spirit with a multifaceted palate. Notes of burnt sugar, oak spice, pomegranate, sweet raspberries, fruit cake, and nutmeg create an inviting and lingering finish. Aromas of caramel, raisin, vanilla, coconut, and dried apricot invite you into its nuanced world. The taste profile is characterized by dark chocolate, crème brûlée, black pepper, oak, and fruit cake, with a finish that continues to develop with hints of dark chocolate, woodiness, fruitiness, and a peppery kick. While its nose promises a rich experience, some might find the initial taste sharp and peppery, settling into warmer notes of oak and chocolate after a few sips. This rum is solidly representative of Panamanian style—moderately sweet with a balanced profile, though some might find it lacks the power expected from such prolonged aging. However, it remains a standout in the Panama Pacific range, noted for its quality and complexity.

As a rum enthusiast, I find the Panama Pacific Ron de Panama Jose Fernandes 15yo to be a fascinating exploration of what Panamanian rum can offer. The initial sharpness evolves beautifully into warm notes of oak and chocolate, making each sip more rewarding. It's a well-balanced rum with moderate sweetness and an array of complex flavors, though some might find it lacks the expected power of a 15-year-old rum.
