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

The look inside the bottle
How does Alcoholes Del Istmo Plantation Panama 2012 (Pauillac Wine Cask Finish) taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Sweet, red-wine finish with an odd savory twist Divisive and unusual — a sweet Panama rum with a strong red-wine and cherry punch, and a savory twist some love. A few find it too sweet and the wine finish hard to place.

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