Alcoholes Del Istmo Plantation Panama 2012 (Pauillac Wine Cask Finish)
Loved by Filip Šikula
A solid stepping stone rum with a sweet, slightly quirky Pauillac wine cask twist. Expect caramel, vanilla, light red-wine notes and a hint of “Chinese sauce/Pad Thai” umami. RumX members see it as a distinctive, sweet sipper or mixer at near-50% ABV.

Přijemná milá, do rumu vypálená činská omáčka. :-) ve vůni drěvo, sušené ovoce a karamel. V chuti jsem si nejdřív přečetl Pavlův padthai a tězko se ho zbavuju. Asi tam je k trocha dřeva a pak zas ta sójovka.
Review by Johannes
Alkohol nicht perfekt eingebunden, aber durch das Weinfinish erhält der Rum eine schöne Komplexität.
Review by Pavel Spacek
For first taste and in first two seconds this taste like standard rum...but suddenly - OMG - what do I taste in there?!? It taste like food food from chinese fast food. Chinese noodles, really!!! Not nice for rum but realy unique, amazing! EDIT- not noodles, Padthai is it!.
Review by Timo Groeger
Für meinen Geschmack auch wieder etwas zu süss. Also das Wine Cask Finish kann ich irgendwie so gar nicht erkennen, stattdessen wieder eine leichte Süße, Karamell, Schokolade, Vanille und aber auch Holz sind erkennbar.
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose it is very very mild with only a hint of vanilla and red wine. Taste reveals a strong punch of spice, vanilla and red wine with a general sweetness. Finish is long with the sweetness and red wine slowly fading away. This is a very unique and the disconnect from the aroma and taste is extreme. Mixed Pepsi Zero:
