The Kong 12 Years Old Rainforest Spiced Spirit Drink is based on a carefully matured base spirit that has been aged for more than a decade in American oak casks, resulting in a rum-based spirit from Panama with a distinctive character and rich flavour. Panama is increasingly establishing itself as a major producer of high-quality spirits, as this product convincingly demonstrates. Following distillation, the base spirit was initially matured in American white oak bourbon casks, before undergoing a three-month finishing process in port casks. This additional maturation lends the spirit drink extra depth and modern nuances, whilst finely balanced spices define its aromatic signature and give it its characteristic spiced flavour.


Visually, too, this Kong Rainforest Spiced Spirit Drink makes a distinctive impression. The striking bottle, shaped like a gorilla’s head, and the thematic reference to the mountain gorillas of the Virunga Mountains make this bottling an extraordinary eye-catcher. Its modern style, high-quality gift box and clear focus on a contemporary flavour profile ensure that this spirit cuts a fine figure both neat and in various mixed drinks. The combination of a matured base spirit, selected spices and a carefully crafted finishing process creates a spirit that impresses with its aromatic depth and multi-layered structure.

Nose: Spicy and rich with notes of vanilla, wood and subtle hints of fruit.

Palate: Round, smooth and slightly sweet with hints of tropical fruit, vanilla and subtle spicy notes.

This spirit pairs superbly with desserts such as caramelised fruit, dark chocolate or vanilla cream, as its spicy character elegantly complements these flavours. It also harmonises well with nutty biscuits and mild cheeses, where its aromatic depth really comes into its own. In cocktails, it is recommended for variations such as a Spiced Old Fashioned, a tropical-inspired Tiki drink or a modern take on a Rum Manhattan. Served neat at room temperature, it unfolds its complex, long-lasting aromas as a stylish digestif.
