Panamá-Pacific 23YO 0,7l 42,3%

Panamá-Pacific 23 YO is a mature Panamanian rum that pays homage to the historic Panama-Pacific International Exposition held in 1915 in San Francisco. It is produced at the San Carlos distillery in the province of Herrera and captivates with its very long aging, rich dessert-like profile, and elegant transition to a woodier finish.

Production:

The base is molasses, to which pineapple yeast is added during production. Fermentation takes approximately 24 to 30 hours, and subsequent distillation in a traditional copper column helps preserve the rum’s fuller and richer character. The rum first ages 3 years in Kentucky bourbon barrels and then another 20 years in rye whiskey barrels, which gives it depth, sweetness, and a subtly spicy, woody dimension.

Tasting Profile:

Nose: Vanilla, caramelized sugar with butter, coconut, banana, cherry-almond pastry.

Palate: Caramel butter, cherry-almond pastry, cocoa, woody notes.

Finish: The dessert notes gradually fade and give way to woodier tones.

Panamá-Pacific 23 YO is a rum with a rich character and long aging, combining sweeter dessert notes with the elegance of wood and the depth of long aging. It is perfect for slow, solitary enjoyment.

Producer/Importer:

The company behind the Panamá-Pacific Rum brand is Las Joyas del Agave, S.A. de C.V. The owners are Jacob Lustig and José Espinoza. Their products include mainly tequila and mezcal. They decided to produce rum when they found that none of the existing rums suited them. They wanted to create a rum that would completely satisfy their palate. They therefore teamed up with master blender José "Don Pancho" Fernandez and the San Carlos distillery.
