Rum Artesanal Panama Rum PMD 2004
Whisky drinkers curious about rum are the real audience here. This 19-year Panama, bottled at 58.2%, tastes unusually smoky and malty — burnt sugar, cocoa, coffee and a dry ashy finish that several tasters pegged as a peated single-malt cask, though the bottler never spelled it out. One found it "too medicinal/sweet." Not a typical soft Panamanian.

8,6:On the nose, the first impression we get is very pleasant with smoky charred wood notes like caramel, pastry, nuts, bacon and fruity with orange peel, lime, dried fruits like apricots, figs, all together very reminiscent to a whisky, a molasses is oily, vegetal. On aeration, the molasses is really dark with a help of resinous wood, still charred with cocoa, leather, cream toffee, burnt sugar.Some tobacco is also here...Well the notes are nicely balanced. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is very fruity at first, with tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, coconut, dried fruits like apricots and ripe red fruits with cherry, quickly turns to syrupy, smoky and spicy charred wood with creamy nougat, caramel, nuts, burnt sugar, dark chocolate, as the fruits become candied.The molasses is flowery at first, becomes quickly darker with herbal, tobacco and black tea notes, there is a help from wood with its toastedness, leather, coffee, bacon/meaty touch...Delicious.With peaches, raisins, prunes joining the show, we think of a tasty, thick marmelade. 8,7:The finish is long, thick and syrupy, with all these pleasant notes from the palate, dry and a bit tannic, peat joins the game...Top rum, 😋... Edit:21.3.25, confirm the grade, again delicious 11.5.25, 24.8.26

Interesting rum with a well noticeable Whiskey note. The combination of various notes, the ABV and Barrel is a great adventure. Btw the barrel and ABV is integrated very well!
Review by Oliver
Delicious Panama rum with an interesting whisky note. Creamy on the palate with burnt sugar and lots of cocoa notes. A rather alcoholic side emerges on the finish. Nevertheless, a nice rum for a cozy evening. After a little breathing, the (slightly smoky) whisky finish becomes more and more dominant.
Review by Timo Groeger
A nice Panama rum, it certainly makes the quality differences to 40% ones clear. A smoky nose consisting of whisky and cocoa. On the palate also whisky, coffee, cocoa and I also taste a slight honey note. Nice finish, very tasty.

#7195 21.08.2026 Relaxing with a few samples after today's bad news that my car will take more time to fix and it might get expensige. Listening to some nice tracks frem the album Trance Galaxy 2025 100 Stars on Spotify. Very good Panama with an attractive price tag at release. Very different from the regular Panama profile. Nice spice, caramel, molasses, chocolate, coffee, fruits, roasted wood and some herbs.
Review by Johannes
A good rum from Panama, but somewhat one-dimensional. Rather short finish with a longer alcoholic note. In my opinion, some Panchos are much better....
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
I was actually looking forward to a delicious old Panama rum, but this one has been 100% aged in single malt barrels and I'm guessing it's from smoky barrels with a pre-seasoning like bowmore or talisker. If you knew that beforehand it would be fine, but this is a real disappointment. The whisky aroma is very dominant and overshadows the otherwise certainly beautiful rum aroma. What a shame! I don't understand why they don't work more transparently here!
Review by Andi
On the nose initially burnt sugar, whiskey notes that are totally untypical, very slight smoke notes. Some chocolate. On the palate then also very untypical, more towards whiskey, smoky, tobacco, cocoa, slightly bitter and stern.
Review by Boletus
Still quite closed on the nose, this rum shows some nice sides in the taste with candied fruits and chocolatey sweetness. The slight smoky undertone fits quite well with the basic profile in my opinion, but I find the somewhat alcoholic finish a bit flat and, over time, the increasing sweetness with each sip in the aftertaste not so great.
Review by MarcT
I am surprised by the dark colour, and curious about its origin. This Rum seems to be very intense foe a Panamanian, mainly due to the high ABV, i suppose. Its very promising on the nose, more fruit than expected. The mouth is a bit different, i have typical spanish style and some sweet fruit, but it goes and leaves behind a bit of ash. This could be a whisley cask, giving that influence. Its not bad, as i had far worse Rums with that type of cask finish, but personally i do not care for it. For people that like their dry ash finished whiskey, this might be a good malternative.
Review by Lukas Jäger
What is that? This rum leaves me a little confused. In addition to a rather Panamanian basic character, this rum has a clear whisky influence. Whether as a finish, intermediate storage or even initial maturation in a whisky cask (as opposed to the typical bourbon cask), this rum has clearly been given smoke and malt. Unusual, as such maturations are normally always peddled, so I wonder why this is not mentioned here. The finish is also clearly alcoholic, so despite being 19 years old, there is still plenty of room for improvement...
Review by Basti
Haven't had a Spaniard in the glass for a long time. And now I know why again :D On the nose a bit of caramel, spices, wood, vanilla, a bit too much. Fruits and subtle chewing gum. On the palate the alcohol then shows a bit too much, plus a bit of wood, caramel and vanilla. Not particularly spectacular...
Review by Tafia Guildive
It's not bad, the alcohol is very well integrated and some nice, fruity aromas appear on the nose and palate. The communication about the cask selection to consumers was apparently a bit unfortunate, as this might have previously contained some grain distillate and unfortunately it didn't work as well here as, for example, with the Plantation Fiji 2001 Rozelieurs. The "smoke" here is much more subtle than with the Fiji Rozelieurs; it could also have been a rye in the previous use and not a Scotch (smoky) style whisky, which would also explain the lack of any indication of such a finish or corresponding cask selection. There are definitely better Panamanian rums at much better prices. I would have liked to get some hint about the cask somewhere, which unfortunately is missing. Since Dominik left RA, things have obviously been running "differently" there, which I find very unfortunate.
