The port finish is what people notice first — it lays dark berries, dried dates and cherry over a classic Panama base of caramel and vanilla. At 55% the alcohol sits well integrated, and 26 years of column-still ageing round everything off. A touch of sulphur shows up, and even fans call it more harmonious than deep. Nutty, wine-soaked, easy to sip.

How does S.B.S Panama (Bourbon and Port Cask) 1998 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Port-finished Panama, fruity but not deep Well made and very approachable — the port casks add fruit most enjoy, but several tasters agree it lacks the complexity you'd hope for at this age.

#7164 15.08.2026 Having a few samples after a nice walk with my wife visiting the Danish school schip Georg Stage. Listening to some nice old Armin van Buuren on Spotify. Pretty good release and I bought a bottle and also won one in an online tasting. Well rounded profile with fruit, chocolate, caramel, coffee, leather spice and roasted wood.

A rather light, easy-drinking rum with ripe fruit and a pleasant wood note. The port cask aging brings a subtle sweetness and dark berries into play, but remains subtle. Some spice in the background, overall round but not particularly deep or complex.
Review by Johannes
Alcohol perfectly integrated! Nice additional fruitiness thanks to the port finish.
Review by Martin Ekrt
The nose is a dense combination of dried dates with cinnamon. On the palate, it's a mix of dried fruit, cherries, and wine. The finish adds a long stay in the barrel and cinnamon. It quite reminds me of Foursquare. Not bad, but it doesn't excite me.
Review by Jakob
Coherent flavor profile - the Spanish style with its caramel and vanilla notes gets the expected dried fruit and nut aromas from the finishing in ex-port casks, which harmonize well and bring a drinkable sweetness. A bit of sulfur is present, but overall the rum remains very accessible. Alcohol is also well integrated - a successful release, but lacking nuance and complexity.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 1998, in a bourbon barrel. I rate it 8.3 out of 10, a very good rum.
Review by Richard Krupa
Color and aroma strongly reminiscent of bourbon and port, taste very sweet and dense full of dried fruit.
