The Plantation Panama 2010 is a limited-edition, vintage-dated rum from the Plantation Rum Vintage Collection, showcasing the distinctive character of Panamanian rum-making. Distilled in 2010 from molasses using a column still, this rum was aged for 11 years in Panama in ex-bourbon barrels, then shipped to France for an additional 1 year of aging in Ferrand Cognac casks at Maison Ferrand. The result is a refined, elegant, and well-structured rum that balances tropical smoothness with French oak sophistication.
