Distillery: Varela Hermanos Distillery, Panama

The Panama 2004 is an exceptional spirit from the Varela Hermanos Distillery, representing Panama's storied rum-making tradition. This rum is distilled from molasses, a key ingredient since the 17th century, and produced in a column still. It reflects the enduring heritage of Panamanian rum production, which began with the introduction of sugarcane by the Spanish in the 16th century.

This cask matured for 12 years in Panama’s tropical climate in ex-Bourbon casks, followed by 7 years of continental aging in the UK in ex-rum casks. Bottled in 2023 with an ABV of 57.5%, this single cask release is entirely pure, containing no added flavours, colouring agents, or sugars. Limited to just 255 bottles, it captures the essence of Panama's history, craftsmanship, and dedication to excellence, offering a unique and authentic rum experience.
