El Ron del Artesano Panama Rum - Amativo Cask 2010

Unusual for a Panama rum, the red-wine cask does most of the talking here — plum and cherry up front, a little salt and pepper behind it. Distilled 2010, 12 years old, bottled at a lively 58.4%. Several members love how well the wine finish integrates; a couple find it too wild and alcoholic on the palate. One taster called it "a great sipper," another wished it were softer.

The community says
  • Plum-cherry finish

Update 150624: Bottle almost empty, the aromas have developed wonderfully, the finish is actually impressively well done and the rum a great complex companion in the evening 👍 more of this! +3 points! ------------------ Artesano specializes in finishes and so we have a nice cask here as well. The associated wine itself is already great. Its aromas are also very well reflected here and nicely bind the rum. The 58 percent don't hide but are fun. It could be a bit more complex but pot still distillation is already being worked on and of course you can't let every rum age 20+ years in the cask. Quite amazing how much you can get out of a good cask.

The barrel influence is a bit too strong for me. The alcohol also feels quite strong. The rum is not as dry as the other Panamanian ones. Great value for money as always.

As a mixer, it's really great! So I corrected it a bit upwards. Another good finish that Sebastian has achieved here. I just find it amazing again what you can get out of the finishes from the rum without really pushing it into the background.
