Cadenhead‘s Green Label Rum

Cadenhead's is a long established Scottish independent bottler, and its Green Label rum here is a nine year Panama drawn from a column still molasses spirit and aged in ex-bourbon. Bottled at 46% in the bottler's natural, no frills style, it offers a drier, undosed read on the normally soft and sweet Panama profile.

The nose carries sweet vanilla, citrus, chocolate and a soft sweetness, while the palate leans on caramel, chocolate, vanilla and young oak, finishing on caramel. Reviewers describe it as a pleasant if everyday rum, distinctly on the sweeter side of flavour despite no added sugar, with chocolate and vanilla leading and a slightly thin body and not fully integrated alcohol. As an indie bottled Panama it works as a reliable, chocolate and vanilla led sipper that also takes well to cola, a straightforward option for drinkers exploring the softer end of Spanish style rum without dosage.
