Las Cabras Offrian Rum 8

Las Cabras Offrian Rum 8 is an eight year old Panama rum, drawing on the country's deep tradition of soft, column-distilled spirit aged in the tropical climate. Panama is a major source of mellow, vanilla-spiced rum, and this sits comfortably in that easygoing, approachable register.

Distilled from molasses and matured in ex-bourbon wood, it is round and fine, with a barrel-led nose and a butterscotch sweetness running through a smooth, gentle palate. It is well made and pleasant rather than assertive, a light sipper that goes down easily without demanding attention, though it stays on the subtle side and lacks the sharper flavour peaks of bolder bottlings. For a quiet, unchallenging Panamanian to enjoy neat or over ice, it does its job with soft, well-mannered charm at forty percent.
