Golden Cask Rum – Panama Don José 14-Year-Old

A rare and refined single-cask Panama rum, the Golden Cask Don José 14-Year-Old is an exquisite example of expertly aged, limited-edition rum. Distilled in February 2008 and matured for 14 years, this spirit was carefully curated and bottled by Golden Cask, with only 224 bottles produced—making it a highly sought-after release for collectors and rum enthusiasts alike.

Tasting Notes

This single-cask Panama rum delivers a rich and smooth profile, balancing tropical sweetness with deep oak influence. It retains a beautifully textured mouthfeel, thanks to non-chill filtration, which allows for fuller flavours and complexity. Expect:

• Nose: Warm vanilla, toasted coconut, caramelized sugar, and hints of citrus
• Palate: Buttery toffee, molasses, soft baking spice, and dried tropical fruits
• Finish: Long and smooth, with lingering notes of oak, vanilla, and subtle nutmeg

The Legacy of Don José Distillery

Founded in Panama, the Don José Distillery is renowned for crafting high-quality rums with a signature smooth, well-rounded character. The tropical climate accelerates aging, giving the spirit its deep richness while retaining an elegant balance of fruit, spice, and oak.

Golden Cask – Unfiltered, Uncompromised

Each cask in the Golden Cask range is individually selected to showcase the best characteristics of its region and distillery of origin. Unlike mass-produced rums, these releases are non-chill filtered, with only a coarse filter used to remove cask debris—preserving the full texture and depth of flavour. Each bottle is unique, with no two casks tasting exactly the same.
