The Demon’s Share

The Demons Share is a Panamanian Spanish-style rum built on the country's soft, mellow profile, distilled from molasses on a column still and aged for twelve years in ex-bourbon casks. Panama is one of the great bulk rum sources, and the house style here is all about a rounded, vanilla led smoothness rather than any spirit driven punch.

The nose is rounded with vanilla, oak and caramel, the palate carries vanilla, caramel, a sugary note and barrel character, and the finish is mild, warm and soft. It drinks sweet leaning and dessert like, an easy neat pour or a comfortable glass over ice for those who enjoy Zacapa style smoothness. The twelve years in bourbon wood give it shape without much bite, so it is honest to position this as a gentle, approachable sipper rather than a powerful or especially layered one. For relaxed evenings it is an undemanding, satisfying choice.
