Rum Nation Decanter 21 Years Black Edition

Rum Nation, the Italian house known for its regional releases, presents this Decanter Black Edition as a Panamanian column still molasses rum carrying twenty-one years and matured in ex-bourbon wood, bottled at 43%. It sits in the soft, dessert-leaning corner of the Spanish style where age and barrel build a rich, rounded glass.

The nose brings vanilla, raisin, tobacco and brown sugar, with cocoa, oak and a roasted note on the palate and a finish carrying spice, oak and a peppery edge against the sweetness. The extra years lend cocoa and dried fruit depth without adding heat, making for a comfortable, full-flavoured pour. It is best enjoyed neat, a smooth, chocolate-rich Panamanian for drinkers who like soft sweetness with a little more age and structure behind it.
