El Ron del Artesano Panama Rum - Sweetwine Cask
Toffee, dried plums and roasted wood lead here, with vanilla, cocoa and a light coffee note underneath. The sweetwine cask runs the show — it turns sweet up front, then dries out and goes briefly astringent at the end. Most tasters find the 24 years clearly there and the 55.8% well tucked in, though a couple call the wine influence a touch much.

How does El Ron del Artesano Panama Rum - Sweetwine Cask taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Woody, wine-cask Panama sipper with dried fruit A well-liked old Panama column rum where the sweet-wine finish adds dried fruit and depth. Some find it a little too sweet and wine-forward, but most call it seriously tasty.

No idea, but this wood hits me more again. Very nicely woody as well as vanilla on the nose. On the palate it becomes rather spicy, wood/oak are clearly recognizable. Vanilla and mocha come in here as well.

The finish suits the rum very well and brings in its very own note. Sweet, but not too much. An exciting Spaniard!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a nicely balanced rum and I think the price tag is spot on. Sweet and fruity with nice roasted wood and I like the light coffee note you get. Draws really nice curtains in the glass. The barrel finish is also in there without being too dominant and the empty glass reveals a lot of nice flavours.
Review by Boletus
Well-aged Panama rum provides a suitable base for expressive and strong cask influences, which is confirmed here again. The sweet wine cask sets the tone and shapes the overall picture, but without completely masking the origin of the distillate. For me, a little too sweet and wine-heavy over time, but already quite tasty!
Review by Martin Augustin
A very intense smell of wood, cocoa and caramel comes at you. On the palate, the sweet wine finish comes through lightly, which really fits well. Nice finish with a coffee note. A rum that is very strong and complex for a representative of the Spanish style. I like it.
Review by RumTaTa
Very good representative from Panama. The 24 years are noticeable but the rum still brings a nice fruitiness. Extremely balanced and strong, with the barrel dominating the aftertaste. This is really good stuff!
Review by Jakob
The combination with the sweet wine cask does the rum good - without the dried fruits it would be a rather one-dimensional profile. The Artesanos known to me share in my opinion a quite unique note, which I associate with milky notes and something mineral.
Review by Alexander Rasch
A very very tasty rum. The age is beautifully perceptible here. The influence of the cask perfectly balanced. Panama rum at the highest level. Actually only found at Mr. Lauingen. The nose is round, dark and inviting. On the palate a lot of cask influence. A sweet rum that becomes wonderfully dry again towards the end and is briefly astringent. For me the perfect palate flatterer and Artesano 20+ rums are the best you can get from Panama. Awesome stuff. Underrated!
Review by Gregor
Intense wood influence. Yet still nicely complex and lingering. Slight fruitiness underlines the whole.
Review by Johannes
The base product is a solid rum from Panama. In the finish, the wine barrel aging quickly and clearly comes through, which for me personally is a bit too much.
Review by Christian Rudt
Definitely needs time to open up, gets better and better. The sweetness coming from the white wine cask rounds the rum off superbly. Fascinating what finishes can do.
Review by Harald
Color: golden brown. Smell: At first sweet caramel. Then toffee, raisins, cocoa and wood. Also roasted aromas. Overall balanced and round. Taste: Full-bodied, sweet and heavy in the mouth. When swallowing spicy chocolatey. Lots of exotic spices - caraway, cardamom, clove and pepper. Also dried plums, woody and roasted aromas. Delicious! Finish: Medium length. Cocoa, woody, spicy and roasted. Bitter in the aftertaste. 82 points.
Review by Jens Mulzer
Very pleasant nose of dried fruits, red wine, slightly woody, slightly spicy. Taste: dried fruits, spicy, light vanilla, wine cask aromas, pleasant sweetness, full-bodied and warm. Finish tends to be long. Alcohol is well integrated. Really enjoyable!
Review by Christoph
Relatively bitter woody notes, but the alcohol is quite well integrated. Dried fruits.
Review by Manuel
Solid rum with a really good finish. The Sweetwine Cask makes itself well noticed. Alcohol well integrated.
