Most tasters land on "pleasant but not memorable," and a few call it downright unspectacular. Expect fresh citrus, banana and light vanilla with only a whisper of wood — several members note it drinks nothing like a typical Panama rum. Easy and creamy at 50%, but the finish goes flat and short. One reviewer needed time to get past a harsh, alcoholic nose before the fruit showed up.

How does S.B.S Panama 2006 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity, easy Panama sipper that fades fast A likeable easy sipper that most agree lacks intensity and complexity — the fruit is there, the finish just fades fast. Sixteen tropical years barely register.

Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting: I had rated it 7.6. Today the rum seems very pale and with an unpleasant woody off-note (-4) Still quite restrained on the nose, the rum develops on the palate with intense fruitiness, sweetness and spice. However, it lacks a little intensity to achieve "very good". The rum fades relatively quickly, vanilla and spice remain for a while.

#4489 03-04.11.2023 Den Danske Whiskyfestival. Again a special meet up besides the event itself because we think it's a bit too dull. Had a great time with friends again. My notes. Nose: fresh, fruity, citrus, sweet, light chocolate. Palate: light wood, mint, citrus, vanilla, herbs. Finish: medium long but light, citrus, light wood. Empty glass has light caramel.
Review by Lot-NAS
The nose is not easy to deal with, pretty harsh and kind of alcoholic but still with a lot of vegetal notes, some vanilla and herbs. Took me some time to overcome my first negative impression. The palate is not overly complex but still a nice sipper which does great at delivering some Panamanian core notes.
Review by Chrischi78
Quite nice round tobacco notes on the nose, which are very pleasant. On the palate round, slight sweetness and still tobacco notes and light wood. Overall pleasant without being really complex. Nice and soft and creamy without particularly standing out.
Review by Johannes
Not really typical for a rum from Panama. Little wood, but more fruity citrus notes, somewhat flat, short finish.
Review by Christian Rudt
Relatively fruity, easy to drink a rum for in between just somehow a bit one-sided in flavors
Review by Alex Kunath
Quite unspectacular but not bad either.

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
Easy sipper, not particularly complex aromatically. Unfortunately the finish is a bit flat. You don't really notice the 12 years of tropical aging. An atypical Panama rum.
