Review by Michael Schou
23-01-2025 I really enjoyed this Panama rum. Nice age and fine integrated ABV
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Sehr lecker und blind wäre ich beim single Barrel bourbon. Würziger, schwerer und kräftiger wie der erste Single cask! Lecker aber der erste batch mich hier deutlich mehr überzeugt. Preislich natürlich auch recht happig.
Review by DomM
Very round an bourbon forward.
Review by Oliver
Sehr angenehme und einladende Nase. Am Gaumen hingegen etwas rau. Würde in einem Blind-Tasting als Full Proof Bourbon durchgehen. Spannend! Klare Empfehlung für Bourbon-Fans wenn nicht der UVP so hoch wäre.
Review by zabo
Messeverkostung Village'25 Nürnberg Für mich als Fazit ein solide Abfüllung von Bellamys aus Panama. Überraschender Weise mit der Klebstoff Nase recht interessant aber was er am Gaumen nicht ganz halten kann. Mir wäre eine Flasche aber keine 200€ wert. Dafür kann man auch einen Bourbon kaufen.
Review by Johannes
Oha! Blind hätte ich auf einen Bourbon getippt. Aber für den Preis irgendwie keine klare Linie. Wenn ich einen guten PLV-Bourbon möchte, dann kann ich mir auch runden Wild Turkey für knapp 40 Euro kaufen.
