Elements 8 Republica is an aged blend of two single rums, sourced from distilleries in Cuba and Panama. Earthy green, vegetal dry flavours from the rum married with the rich, woody and sweeter Panama style. A hint of sweetness and a whiskey like smokiness. The rum is non-chill filtered and aged for a minimum of five years in Bourbon casks. Fruit & Nut Dairy Milk, brown sugar, a good whack of orange zest, Jamaican Ginger Cake, prune and cardamom. ### Product Description The eight elements referred to here are the different stages and variables that distillers must work/ contend with when creating Rum (and indeed most spirits). Namely, these are Terrior (soil and surroundings); the sugar cane; water; fermentation; distillation, aging (often in oak barrels); blending and filtration. Initially launched in 2006 aimed at the bar trade, the Rums quickly established themselves as smoother and rather more complex than most meaning that their presence in many cocktails became common place just as quickly. Tasting Notes A good whack of Orange zest
