The Demon’s Share Chianti Barrel Finish

The Demon's Share Chianti Barrel Finish is a Panamanian ron from Bodegas de America, a 12 year old molasses rum finished in casks that once held Italian Chianti wine. Column-distilled in the soft Panamanian style and aged in ex-bourbon before the wine finish, it leans on cask and sweetness for its appeal.

The Chianti influence brings a fruity, wine-soaked character. The nose offers sweetness, fruit, orange and a clear wine note, the palate continues with sweet fruit, orange and citrus, and the finish turns woody and sweet with apple and floral touches. It drinks soft and noticeably sweet rather than dry, with the red-wine cask adding a distinct fruity dimension over the mellow Panama base. An accessible, dessert-leaning rum for those drawn to wine-finished spirits and easy sweetness.
