Panama's Cask-Strength Estate Rum

Marti does things the estate way: cane grown and cut on its own Herrera estate, a house yeast captured from pineapple skins on the same land, and a bottling that skips the dilution tank entirely. At 107.6 proof this is the full barrel-strength expression — three years of ex-bourbon oak concentrated into a dry (<5 g/L sugar), full-flavored rum built for serious cocktails and bold sipping. It earned Silver and Highly Recommended at the 2019 Beverage Testing Institute, and among rums it stands out as one of the few genuine cask-strength estate bottlings on the shelf.

Tasting Notes

Big and expressive at full strength: plum, peach, and stone fruit tempered by buttery spice on the nose, with earthy oak, vanilla, and molasses underneath. The palate opens with sweet maple and a rich mouthfeel, moving into jam, dried fruit, and coffee cake midpalate, finishing with toasted hazelnuts, marzipan, and black pepper. A splash of water opens it further.

How to Enjoy

Built for cocktails that need backbone — a cask-strength Old Fashioned, a Kingston-style Negroni, or a daiquiri with real presence. Sips beautifully neat for high-proof rum fans; add water to taste.
