Ron Dos Mares Tortuga Verde XO Rum

Ron Dos Mares Tortuga Verde XO Rum is a Panamanian extra‑old rum crafted from local molasses and aged for a minimum of 10 years in ex‑bourbon barrels under tropical conditions. Drawn directly from the brand’s official description, this expression represents the fresher, more vibrant side of Latin American rum while still delivering the depth and smoothness expected from an XO. Notes of sun‑dried raisins, chocolate, and warm oak define its profile, while the traditional pallet method used in its production preserves authenticity and regional character.

The name Tortuga Verde pays homage to the green sea turtle that inhabits the white‑sand coasts of Central America, symbolizing the rum’s connection to the Pacific and Caribbean waters that shape its identity.

What Defines Its Style

It’s a rum that feels both grounded in tradition and alive with coastal energy.
