The XO Panama rum has been aged for up to 8 years in Panama and is partly finished for 6-9 months in our pre-seasoned botanical rum casks in Amsterdam. Its special fruity finish comes from the unique finishing process at our distillery in Amsterdam. Check out the video with Ruben to learn more about this exceptional rum.
At the estate, between 8 to 10 different types of sugar cane are grown. These varieties are specifically adapted to the unique soil and climate conditions of the estate, which lays in a fertile valley in the Azuero Peninsula of Panama. The estate benefits from a rich mixture of volcanic soil and clay, along with a microclimate that includes moderate rainfall, cool nights, and humid days.
The sugarcane in our XO Panama Rum is grown on own estates in the fertile valley of Pesé, Panama. Here, high-quality sugarcane is cultivated without burning the fields, a practice that helps maintain the integrity and quality of the cane. This eco-friendly approach not only supports the local environment but also ensures that the rum produced is of the highest standard.
The process begins with the cultivation of sugarcane on their own plantations. The harvested sugarcane is then processed to extract the juice, which is fermented. During fermentation, yeast is added to the sugarcane juice to convert the sugars into alcohol. This step is crucial as it sets the foundation for the rum’s flavour profile.
After fermentation, the resulting liquid undergoes column still distillation. Distillation involves heating the fermented liquid to separate the alcohol from the water and other components. The alcohol vapours are collected and condensed back into liquid form, resulting in a purer and higher-proof spirit.
In Panama, the distilled spirit is then aged in American white oak barrels, which imparts additional flavours and complexity to the rum. The entire process from growing the sugarcane to aging the rum is controlled by the distillery, ensuring a high level of quality and consistency
This dedication to controlling every step of production helps create the distinctive and rich flavours found in Panamanian rums.
Spirited Union Distillery, known for its innovative approach to rum, uses pre-seasoned botanical rum casks to create unique finishes to our rums. These botanical rum casks are specially prepared by pre-seasoning them with botanicals and rum before the final liquid is aged in them. For our XO Panama, vanilla was used to prime the casks. This process allows the rum to absorb the complex flavours of the botanicals, resulting in a distinctive and aromatic spirit.
