Review by Johannes
Very good value for money for a 22 year old rum!
Review by David Graf
Für mich der bisher beste Rum des Herbstreleases 2024 von S.B.S. Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden, Vanille, Karamell und Holz im Mittelpunkt; sehr angenehmer Abgang.
Review by cigares
A rum tasted at the GRF in 2024, S.B.S. Masterclass. A nose of cedar wood with tropical fruit, vanilla and caramel. The palate is marked by alcohol at first, then cedarwood, caramel and vanilla. The finish is moderately long, with caramel and stewed fruit. A good rum, well selected but not very complex.
Review by Basti
Fair evaluation. Tasted as part of the S.B.S. tasting. For me, a classic rum from Panama. On the nose and also on the palate, mainly caramel, vanilla and wood. Very accessible, but not particularly exciting.
