The Transcontinental Rum Line Panama 6 Year Old 2015 is a vibrant expression of modern rum exploration, a spirit that’s literally traveled the world to find its perfect balance. Distilled in Panama, where tropical heat accelerates flavor and richness, it then journeyed to Europe to mature further in a cooler climate, allowing time to refine, soften, and integrate. This “dual continent” aging process mirrors the maritime traditions of old, when casks of rum crossed oceans aboard ships, evolving with every mile. The result is a beautifully layered rum that’s both bright and smooth, capturing the best of both worlds.

Production Details:

Distilled in 2015 from molasses using a traditional column still, this rum spent its early years maturing in Panama’s tropical heat, intensifying its fruit and sugarcane character. It was then transported to Europe for slower secondary aging in ex-bourbon casks, enhancing smoothness and subtlety. Bottled at 43% ABV, with no added sugar, coloring, or chill-filtration, it reflects the Transcontinental Rum Line’s commitment to purity and authenticity.
