The Rum Cask 2004 Panama PMD Column Still 13-year-old rum is a unique gem from the Don Jose distillery in Panama. Distilled in 2004 from molasses using a Column Still and specially selected by The Rum Cask, this rum has been aged for 13 years and boasts an impressive ABV of 58.5%. What makes this rum particularly intriguing is its finish in a former Lagavulin cask, which, despite only a brief maturation period of about two weeks, imparts a surprisingly intense character. On the nose, this rum offers an inviting array of aromas including smoky notes reminiscent of bacon, ham, and smoked sausages, balanced by sweeter elements like ripe berries and citrus fruits, with undertones of pepper, nutmeg, and vanilla. The palate delivers a captivating blend of flavors where the initial smoky and leather tones transform into charcoal and bonfire, accompanied by a symphony of sweet and salty hints such as vanilla, banana, and a peaty whiskey-like essence. The finish is relatively long, leaving a lasting impression with hints of wood, syrupy sweetness, roasted notes, and a touch of leather. For connoisseurs who appreciate Islay-finished rums, the Panama Single Cask Column Still Rum PMD offers a robust, complex, and well-rounded tasting experience that is both rich and satisfying. While it might be too intense for some, this rum is a bold and unconventional exploration of new flavor profiles, showcasing the potential of Islay finishes in the rum world.
