Las Cabras Ron 1914 Edición Gatún

Ron 1914 Edicion Gatun comes from Las Cabras in Panama, a molasses rum drawn from both pot and column stills and matured in ex-bourbon wood, carrying a twenty-one year age statement and bottled at 41.3%. It sits in the soft, mellow Panamanian school of the Spanish style, where smoothness is the headline.

A thread of added sugar rounds the glass, bringing vanilla, caramel, honey and cinnamon with a touch of dark chocolate, leading to a warm, gently spiced finish that stays short and soft. The pot still component lends a little extra body, but the overall feel is easy and low in burn. It makes a comfortable evening starter or mixer for drinkers who like the sweet Panamanian profile and want something light and undemanding in the glass.
