This rum is produced with locally sourced sugar cane at Panama's esteemed Varela Hermanos distillery before enjoying a decade-long maturation in American oak casks. The result is a rich and complex sipper, brimming with layers of robust oaken vanilla and spice, butterscotch and cane juice, and an elegant texture that'll work well for neat sipping, and ought to shine in a Highball topped with soda or ginger ale, and garnished with fresh lime.
Rich layers of oaken vanilla and woody spice join toffee, butterscotch, and pressed cane, with burnt brown sugar and a touch of fragrant pepper beneath.
First time trying Rey Del Istmo 10 Year Old and honestly… wow. Didn’t know what to expect, but it’s sooo good – straight up my new fave. Super smooth, 10/10 would order again.
Found my new favourite rum!
Never seen or tried this before, but it was great, will defo order again
Absolutely amazing in a dark and stormy cocktail, now a staple in my cabinet
Very rare to find something this young that packs such a punch. A very reasonably priced sipping rum and one I will 100% be coming back for. First time sampling the brand but one I'll be awaiting the 25 year old release from!
