Transcontinental Rum Line 8 Year Old

Panama 2011 Trans-Continental Rum Line is brought to us by our good friends over at La Maison Du Whisky. It's a limited edition of 1300 bottles from an unnamed (ahem...Ron Abuelo) Panama distillery. High quality molasses has been slowly fermented then distilled in a traditional column still before being aged for 6 years in an ex-bourbon cask. When the 6 year maturation in Panama was completed, the cask was then transported to France, replicating the same journey which would have been made in times of yore. The rum was matured for a further year on arrival in France before being bottled. The line inspired by the rich history of the transatlantic crossings of rum casks, the transcontinental rum line range aims to highlight the typicity and diversity of the world’s best provenances for rum. Selected by the expert team at la maison du whisky, these bottlings offer consumers great transparency in order the let the genuine quality of the rums shine. All the details concerning the distillation and aging of the products are clearly stated on the labels, making them great educational tools. With over 40 references coming from 12 different countries, the transcontinental rum line range has become a reference in terms of diversity and accessibility.
