El Ron del Artesano Blanco Overproof

El Ron del Artesano bottles this Blanco Overproof, an unaged Panamanian white rum from molasses, presented at a punchy 57.2%. Without barrel ageing to soften it, the spirit itself is on full display, and the high strength pushes its aromatics hard, making for a bold, expressive white.

The nose is intense and lively, fresh cane, citrus and a fruity sharpness leading the way. The palate brings floral notes, bright lime and a soft sweetness over an oily texture, the proof lending warmth without turning harsh. The finish stays citrus-forward and floral with a lingering warmth. This is a characterful, aromatic overproof white that works neat for the adventurous but truly shines in cocktails, where its strength and fresh cane lift carry through mixers and citrus. A vibrant, unaged Panamanian for drinkers who want power and brightness rather than oak.
