8.9/10

Almost whisky like. Smoky nose and finish. Great discovery. This is something you need to have on your shelf. I'm wondering if it's the 19 years that makes this rum so good. Need to try more from Panama for sure.

What an amazing discovery! I compared this one to the Blackadder Panama 11yo, and this SMWS release is just on another level. Not even playing in the same league. Very interesting, complex, unique, smoky profile. Great pick, well done SMWS!
