9north Especiado Spiced Rum

Especiado is 9north's signature statement — a spiced rum that has almost nothing in common with the vanilla-and-cinnamon pirate bottles the category is known for. The base is 3-year-old Panamanian rum from the historic Las Cabras distillery (PILSA, established 1924) in Herrera Province, infused with all-natural green tea, lemongrass, ginger, jasmine, citrus, and a touch of molasses — flavors drawn from Southeast Asia, tied to Panama by the 9th parallel north that gives the brand its name. Bottled at 88 proof (44% ABV) with just 12 grams of sugar per bottle, a fraction of what typical spiced rums carry, it finishes notably dry rather than sweet. Wine Enthusiast's blind tasting scored it 93 points — a remarkable number for a spiced rum — and Total Wine's notes praise the refreshingly dry finish and complex layering. Expect grassy, aromatic notes of green tea and lemongrass up front, bright lemon and orange citrus through the middle, warming ginger, and light floral aromatics of jasmine and chrysanthemum that unfold slowly over time. Built for specialty cocktails — it makes a genuinely different Dark 'n Stormy or spiced daiquiri — but carefully crafted to stand on its own neat or over ice. Spiced rum, reimagined for people who gave up on spiced rum.
