9North Añoso 8 is an aged rum from Panama, a blend built on eight-year-old rum with older rums finished in Oloroso sherry and Madeira casks, bottled at 98 proof (49% ABV).
9North is an independent rum bottler that selects and blends aged rums, and Añoso 8 showcases the depth of Panamanian rum. Its tall bottle with a bold orange body and a blue, star-patterned neck makes it stand out on the shelf.
The blend brings together rum aged eight years in bourbon barrels with ten-year-old rum finished in Oloroso sherry casks and twelve-year-old rum finished in Madeira casks. Bottled at a robust 49% ABV, it keeps the full richness of the wood and wine finishes.
Expect molasses, dates and leather on the nose, balanced with subtle baking spices. The palate brings dark fruit, rich spice and toasted nuts, and the finish is long, warm and gently dry.
Añoso 8 is a rum for slow sipping. Pour it neat in a snifter, or add a few drops of water or a single large cube to open up the dark fruit and spice. Its strength and depth also make it a superb base for a Rum Old Fashioned with demerara syrup and Angostura bitters, a rich Mai Tai, or a Rum Manhattan with sweet vermouth. Pair it with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, figs, aged cheeses or crème brûlée. It is a thoughtful gift for rum lovers and whisky drinkers curious about well-aged rum.
Aged rum is one of the most diverse spirits in the world, shaped by the sugarcane, the still and the warm climates where it matures, which speed up the interaction between spirit and wood.
