Dugas La Maison du Rhum Discovery Rhum Vieux

Dugas releases this Discovery Rhum Vieux under the La Maison du Rhum banner, sourced from Panama, the soft, vanilla and spice led heartland that supplies so many independent bottlers. Distilled from molasses on a column still, it sits in Panama's mellow tradition, with fruity, caramel, spice and woody notes on the nose. Bottled at 42%, it carries a touch more grip than the entry level norm.

The palate brings dried fruit, caramel, wood and vanilla, leading into a finish of more oak, caramel, vanilla and dried fruit. This is an approachable, rounded Panamanian sipper, gentle and easy without leaning hard into either sweetness or power. It makes a comfortable everyday pour for drinkers who enjoy the soft, dessert adjacent character Panama is known for, served neat or over ice.
