Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 13 The Two Casks Black Edition

This Two Casks Black Edition is part of the Rumclub Private Selection bottled by Spirit of Rum, drawing an eight year old Panama ron married across a pair of casks. It works in the soft, mellow Panama idiom but is bottled a notch stronger than the regional norm, giving the familiar profile a touch more presence.

Column distilled from molasses and bottled at 47.8%, it is sweet and chocolatey on the nose with caramel and oak, then carries caramel, chocolate and a spicy edge onto the palate, finishing on chocolate, sweetness and spice. The character is naturally sweet and dark in the Panama manner, with the slightly higher strength adding grip without sacrificing smoothness. A rounded, cocoa-led Panama sipper for those who want a soft dark style with a little more backbone than the standard 40%.
