Toffee, black tea and soft vanilla, with a light, easy body and barely any alcohol bite at 40%. One taster called it an "all day sipper," and that's the vibe — smooth, oak in the finish, a touch of dried fruit late. Not very complex, and a few members felt the wood spice edges toward drying. A gentle 18-year Panama sipper more than a deep-thinker's pour.

Store visit Weinquelle Lühmann Hamburg April 2025. I don't think it's as good as the reviews suggest, it's overpriced. Black tea and oak on the nose, also black tea and lots of spice on the palate.
Review by Master P
A beautiful scent flows from the glass, sweet vanilla and chocolate. On the palate, slightly creamy with relatively much sweetness. Soft rum, alcohol barely noticeable. The finish brings a bit of dried fruits with cask influence.
Review by Solidfunk
Vanilla and light coconut. Smoothe smell, above all, and light as most Dan Pancho rums are. Some florals come into play in mouth. Not super sweet so doesn't seem dosed, but I could be wrong about that. Oak in the finish. Pours dark golden. Had this in a flight at Casta's.
Review by Jo Hoo
Mild and easy to enjoy, a nice rum, but not so complex.
