Panama’s year-round hot and humid climate of an average 35° C (95° F) is the perfect environment for our rum to mature under the careful supervision of our always attentive quality control team. We bottle no rum until it has entirely achieved the stated age… Panamá-Pacific’s age statement reflects the youngest rum in the blend, not just a portion of it. For the 23 year expression, freshly distilled rum is laid into used American Oak bourbon whiskey casks for 3 years before transition into used rye whiskey casks for an additional 20 years to complete the desired aging duration.
