Review by Boletus
This rum does the same thing right from the start, but it's so beautiful and hits my current taste perfectly that I don't want any surprises while drinking it. The alcohol strength is ideal and doesn't need any water added, I've never experienced a better mouthfeel. If I was condemned to drink only one spirit for the rest of my life, this would be my choice at the moment. Wonderful!
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
In 2018, Blackadder bottled two exciting Panama rums. The color as dark as colored rums from Guyana or Trinidad. The alcohol content is as low as old Armagnac. After the euphoric review of Boletus, I had to try these rums - and I wasn't disappointed, even if I didn't get the really big ones. There is hardly any difference between the 15 and 20-year-old rums on the nose. Raisins, coffee, chocolate and brown caramel and roasted hazelnuts dominate. The fruit of the 15-year-old is missing from the 20-year-old, which instead has its own woody, polished note. The spices of cloves, allspice and licorice can be found in both rums. In the mouth, the 20-year-old is noticeably more intense, but lacks the fruitiness of the younger one - I still find a few dried currants. The intensity makes it exert roasted burnt nuts and brings more bitterness. The heavy woodiness and polish notes are very nice. Reminds me a bit of a SWR overall. Not as intense, but there is a certain similarity. The finish is longer but also more bitter than the 15-year-old with burnt caramel. A very intense Panama rum. A week ago I thought the 15-year-old was better. Today I can't make up my mind. I'm already looking forward to the rest of my bottle.
Review by Serge
Gefällt mir persönlich besser als der 15 Jhre alte – hier ist der Gaumen röstiger, mit feiner Bitterkeit, Holzpolitur. Passt einfach besser als die Fruchtigkeit des 15yo. Ähnliches Niveau aber ich bevorzuge diesen deutlich.
Review by Schnubbii
Schöne Nase mit Karamell und Rosinen. Am Gaumen viel Karamell, etwas röstig. Verbranntes Karamell, etwas Holz. Abgang nicht besonders lang, dennoch ein schönes Teil. Besitzt für mich ein Ticken mehr Tiefe als der 15y.
Review by Johannes
Sehr gut! Schön ausgewogen mit leicht bitterer Melasse.

Review by 86kringo
Ehrlich gesagt finde ich den Alkohol nicht ganz so gut eingebunden, das mundgefühl und die Reifung sind aber schon ziemlich gut für einen panamanesen! Der ist nicht spektakulär, aber macht das sehr gut was er kann!
Review by Dr.Django
blackadder panama 1998 & blackadder panama 2003 im Direktvergleich. Beide sind sich vom Profil sehr ähnlich. Leckere süße Rums spanischen Stils, die überraschend rauchig sind. Der Panama aus 1998 ist dabei etwas rauchiger und hinterlässt im Abgang kalte Asche. Der jüngere Vertreter ist am Gaumen gefälliger, öliger und sehr süffig mit etwas weniger Rauch und keiner Asche. Blind hätte ich hier auf einen Rum mit Zuckerzugabe getippt. Panama 1998: 83 Pkt. Panama 2003: 85 Pkt.
Review by w00tAN
Nordlichtertreffen 2025: Die Farbe ist schon mal krass .... auch wenn dort nachgeholfen wurde, sehr ansehnlich. In der Nase direkt Rosinen, Karamell. Im Mund eine feine süße insgesamt mild aber man merkt auch das Holz, welches neben der Rosine dominiert. Süffig ohne Frage aber der 15er gefällt mir etwas besser.
