S.B.S Panama (Bourbon and Port Cask) 1998
One taster pegged it as Foursquare-adjacent, and that tracks: a 26-year Panama column-still rum from 1998, finished in port casks. Expect dried dates, cherries, vanilla and a coffee-nutty edge, with the port adding dark berries and a "süffige" easy sweetness. The 55% sits well-integrated. Several note a faint sulfur whiff and agree it's pleasant but not especially deep.
- Well-integrated 55%
- Dried fruit, cherry
- Port adds berries

Review by Mirco
Ein eher leichter, süffiger Rum mit reifer Frucht und einer angenehmen Holznote. Die Portfasslagerung bringt eine dezente Süße und dunkle Beeren ins Spiel, bleibt aber subtil. Etwas Würze im Hintergrund, insgesamt rund, aber nicht sonderlich tief oder komplex.
Review by Johannes
Alcohol perfectly integrated! Nice additional fruitiness thanks to the port finish.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Vůně je taková hutná kombinace sušených datlí se skořicí. Chuťově je to takový mix sušeného ovoce, třešní a vína. V závěru se přidá ještě dlouhý pobyt v sudu a skořice. Docela mi to připomíná Foursquare. Špatné to není, ale nebaví mě to.
Review by Jakob
Stimmiges Geschmacksbild - der spanische Stil mit seinen Karamell- und Vanillenoten bekommt mit der Nachlagerung in Ex-Port die zu erwartenden Trockenfrucht und Nussaromen, die gut harmonieren und süffige Süsse einbringen. Ein Wenig Schwefel ist dabei, der Rum bleibt insgesamt aber sehr zugänglich. Alkohol ist ebenfalls gut integriert - ein gelungenes Release, dem es aber an Nuancierung und Komplexität fehlt.
Review by Richard Krupa
Barva i vůně výrazná po bourbonu a portském, chuť hodně sladká a hutná plná sušeného ovoce
