Alcoholes Del Istmo Plantation Panama 2012 (Pauillac Wine Cask Finish)

Tasters keep noticing a strange savory twist here — a couple of members swear it goes full "Padthai" mid-sip, soy-sauce and all. Underneath that oddity it's a sweet, red-wine-and-cherry Panama column rum: vanilla, red fruit and oak from the Pauillac finish. Several find it a touch too sweet, and the nose barely hints at what the palate does. Genuinely unusual.

The community says
  • Unusual savory twist
  • Red-wine complexity
  • Keep in mind: Too sweet for some

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:

A pleasant, nice, rum-distilled Chinese sauce. :-) In the aroma wood, dried fruit and caramel. In the taste I first read Pavlu's padthai and it's hard to get rid of it. Probably there's a bit of wood and then again that soy sauce.

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.

Alcohol not perfectly integrated, but thanks to the wine finish the rum gains a nice complexity.
