The Transcontinental Rum Line 2008 Panama Line #22 is a distinguished 10-year-old rum with an ABV of 52.8% and a volume of 700ml. This exceptional Panamanian rum, crafted by La Maison du Whisky, was distilled using column stills and fermented molasses. Initially aged for over 6 years in a tropical climate, this process resulted in a high angels' share. The aging continued for approximately 4 more years in Europe, further enhancing its rich and complex flavor profile. Upon first nosing, the rum presents a rather woody aroma, which benefits from brief aeration to reveal deeper notes. The toasted oak enlivens the senses with a pleasant crème brûlée aroma. A slight vegetal note intertwines with spices, while tobacco and nuts are wrapped in a dark caramel. The rum's profile is classic, featuring a slightly bitter vanilla note with a persistent vegetal undertone. With aeration, the rum becomes increasingly inviting, evoking imagery of a large, plump tobacco leaf and a robust vanilla bean. The caramelized wood emerges proudly, balanced by recurring crème brûlée notes. A hint of pepper adds complexity, tightening the bond between these flavors. On the palate, a savory blend of spices, wood, tobacco, and vanilla creates a balanced texture. The wood is caramelized rather than overly toasted, rounding out the angles. The tonka bean imparts a perfumed sweetness with cacao undertones, while a slightly vegetal and lightly tarry resinous note becomes more apparent. The finish is peppery, leaving both aromatic and tactile sensations on the tongue. The resinous note is sticky and lingers on the palate, providing a delightful expression of fruit and wood boldly presented at full strength.
