Frigate Reserve Rum Aged 8 Years

750 mL | 40% ABV | Aged Rum | Panama | 8 Years in Oak Casks

Process & Profile

Frigate Reserve Rum is handcrafted in Panama through a collaboration with renowned master distiller Don Pancho Fernández. Drawing on expertise from older blends, this 8-year expression is crafted by blending down barrels aged up to 21 years, then aged further to develop smooth complexity. The rum is matured in oak casks and bottled at 40% ABV, designed for those who appreciate spirits that lean more toward bourbon, whiskey, or scotch than sweet rums.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Vanilla, caramel, tropical fruit, subtle oak spice

• Palate: Smooth toffee, dark chocolate, toasted nuts layered with warm baking spices

• Finish: Long, mellow, and inviting with lingering spice and soft oak

What Makes It Special

• Crafted under the guidance of Don Pancho Fernández

• Aged 8 years, derived from a 21-year master blend, trimmed down for this statement release 

• Balanced flavor profile tailored for fans of less-sweet, spirit-forward rums

• Bottled at approachable 40% ABV, ideal for sipping neat, on ice, or in stirred cocktails

How to Enjoy

Serve neat in a snifter to uncover deeper notes, or pour over ice for a relaxed, chilled experience. Works beautifully in stirred cocktails that require depth without added sweetness.
