Review by Stijn Zino
Brussels Rhum Festival 15/03/2025 Lacks nose. Maybe it needs time to open up. Very basic rum nothing special. Something spicy in finish?

Alcool très présent mais pas un mauvais rhum
Review by Johannes
Guter, typischer Panama-Rum mit vordergründig Schokoladen-Noten.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
15/03/25: tasted @ Brussels Rhum Festival. Panama can be way more interesting than this. This had a rather average flavour profile, but not bad. I appreciate the higher ABV, but the alcohol could have been better integrated.
Review by Frank
Hier ein eindeutiger Vertreter des „spanischen Stils“. Nase: zunächst kommt der Alkohol unangenehm stechend daher und der Rum wirkt sehr metallisch. Das habe ich häufiger bei rel. jungen „Spaniern“. Dahinter wird er fruchtiger, mit saurer Limette, Sauerkirsche und Apfel. Zudem würzig-schokoladig-holzig mit Vanille und Kakaopulver. Insgesamt unaufgeregt. 72 Gaumen: auch hier zu Beginn alkoholisch-metallisch, dann kommt aber schnell eine angenehme würzig-holzige, schokoladig-lakritzige Note. Das Ganze leicht bitter und hinten cremiger werdend. 74 Der hohe ABV ist nicht so gut integriert, transportiert aber die Aromen und erzeugt die angenehme cremigkeit. Solide aber mehr auch nicht.
Review by w00tAN
Sehr schokoladiger Panama Rum, Alkohol mäßig eingebunden und relativ eintönig. Einseitiger Geruch, Geschmack nur wenig vielseitig, das beste ist der Angang, der cremig schokoladig ist.
Review by Basti
Die Nase ist so verschlossen, dass es schwer fällt überhaupt irgendwas zu erkennen. Etwas Alkohol, Karamell und Vanille sind zu erahnen, wirklich unterirdisch. Auch am Gaumen kommt nichts rüber, absolut flach. Hab mir im Vorfeld nicht viel erhofft und genauso kam es leider auch.
