Silver Seal Rum Panama Small Batch 1994
A newcomer-friendly, dessert-style 30‑year Panama from Silver Seal.

Review by Alexander Rasch
Schwierig... und fast schade. Eine absolut fantastische Nase. Für einen Panama Rum ausgezeichnet. Am Gaumen dann super süß und zu dünn. Aber auch spannend modrig mit nassem Holz. Er bleibt sehr süß... zu süß? Dieser Rum ist ein Gaumen Schmeichler. In der Flasche das perfekte Geschenk. Ach wie schön wäre eine Fassstärke dieser Abfüllung.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,2:On the nose, the first impression we get is spicy with cinnamon, fruity with an orange peel, dried apricots, prunes and roasted with notes like nuts, caramel, nougat and leather, as molasses gift is some tobacco. On aeration, the rum becomes herbaceous, floral, a bit musty, fruitier with coconut, banana, yellow fruits, pear and lemon peel, spicier with nutmeg, vanilla, a bit smoky...otherwise very round. 8,1:On the palate, the attack is sweet, soft and smooth with caramelized brown sugar, cola, fruity with dried fruits like raisins, apricots and prunes, the wood is roasted with toffee, cocoa, nuts and leather, pastry, spicy with vanilla and baking spices.When nicely rested, tropical fruits are out, some orange peel and pears, molasses brings musty notes, tobacco, herbaceous tones, perhaps an eucalyptus.A very round, sweet sipper. 7,9:The finish is medium long, sweet and dry, tannic, soft and smooth with palate notes continuing the ride, slightly minty..
Review by Johannes
Typischer Don Pancho! Gefällt mir sehr gut, auch wenn er leider etwas dünn abgefüllt wurde.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Durch die längere Lagerung deutlich runder und natürlich fasslastiger als der 18 jährige. Dafür aber auch eher glattgebügelt und langweilig. Ist kaum noch von zB einem Dom. Rep. Rum zu unterscheiden, wenn auch trotzdem ganz lecker
Review by Leo Krüper
Viel zu süß, alles übertüncht. Leider. Ansonsten ist der Rum sehr voll für die wenigen %. Erinnert mich sehr an den Origenes 30er, da war auch nicht viel dahinter außer ein bisschen wässriges Karamellwasser.
Review by Serge
Zwar immer noch deutlich zu süß für meinen Geschmack – aber deutlich reifer und aromatischer als der jüngere Bruder aus 2006 (rx22559). Hier kommen Schokolade, Würze und Trocke früchte dazu. Würde ich ohne Dosage sicher trinken.
Review by Thunderbird
Und der nächste Panama…. Der mir etwas besser gefällt..an der Nase, wie auch am Gaumen sind ein paar Aromen, wenn auch dünn, wahrnehmbar. Dem Alter entsprechend Fass, Lebkuchenteig und natürlich schwere Süße. Was mir nicht so zusagt, aber seine Liebhaber finden wird

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
"Now for 30 years this is warmer than I expected. This has some depth of cocoa powder and lovely satin smooth sweet profiles. Honestly, if you want this, you want this version of that. It is not horrible and shows good selection"
