9north from Southern California, an unparalleled flavor rum

A spiced rum that brings together the tradition of Panama with the inspiration of Southeast Asian flavors.

Panama has a long history with sugar cane. Beginning in 1560, a Panamanian colonist named Francisco Gutiérrez requested that he be granted a monopoly on sugar production in the territory. 

With the refinement of sugar, local beverages known as Guarapos gradually appeared, which were the basis for modern rums. 

This tradition gave rise to 9north, a mahogany-colored spiced rum with sweet flavors where the aromas of coconut, caramel, cinnamon, hibiscus pepper, among others, can be distinguished.

9north is a modern rum inspired by the ninth parallel that links Panama, the origin of quality rum, with Southeast Asia. From Panama comes molasses, the fundamental base for rum. From Southeast Asia comes the creativity of flavors and aromas. 

From this fusion comes Carta Blanca rum. A spirit that is ideal for a cocktail. 

This rum is distinguished by its natural herbaceous notes. Rum lovers will find soft tannins on the palate. You will feel notes of green tea, lemongrass, ginger, citruses such as lemon and orange, vanilla, and light aromas reminiscent of jasmine and chrysanthemum.

This was a nice surprise for something calling itself a spiced rum. Not much at all in the nose. There is a herb quality to the flavor profile and very little on what I would call the spice flavor notes. I am sipping this and will try it as a mixer.

Very nice sipping rum. Smooth, some complexity of flavors, and a nice finish.
