The Transcontinental Rum Line Panama 6 Year Old 2013 is a bold exploration of rum’s adventurous spirit, inspired by the golden age of ocean travel, when casks crossed continents to find their perfect maturity. Produced in Panama, a region known for its silky, sun-drenched molasses rums, this expression was aged both in the tropics and later in Europe, a “dual continent” maturation that creates depth, refinement, and harmony. It’s a rum that tells a story of movement, discovery, and craftsmanship, bottled adventure in its purest form.

Production Details:

Distilled from molasses in traditional column stills in Panama, the spirit spent its first years maturing under the tropical sun, absorbing bold, sweet flavors. It was then transported to Europe for further aging in ex-bourbon casks, allowing a slower, cooler maturation that enhances complexity and smoothness. Bottled at 43% ABV with no added sugar or coloring, it represents the Transcontinental Rum Line’s philosophy of authenticity and balance, where geography shapes character.
