Silver Seal Panama Rum Small Batch 2006
Sweet-Panama drinkers are the natural home for this one. Expect vanilla, tobacco, caramel and brown sugar, with a bit of nutty roasted wood and a citrus edge on the nose. Several tasters call it "smooth as butter" but also thin and one-dimensional, with a short, sugary finish that fades fast. Pleasant, easy, and clearly on the sweetened side.
The community says- Vanilla-tobacco nose
- Smooth, easy sipping
- But: Thin, one-dimensional

How does Silver Seal Panama Rum Small Batch 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 17 community reviews.
Sweet, thin, easy-drinking Panama sipper Divides opinion: a nice tobacco-and-vanilla nose that most agree turns thin, very sweet and one-dimensional on the palate. Pleasant but forgettable, and clearly sugared.

Review by LukaŽiga
8,1:On the nose, the first impression we get are citrus fruits with an orange, tropical and dried fruits, roasted wood notes like nuts, caramel, slightly spicy, mostly with a vanilla, pleasantly round. On aeration, tobacco is out, herbaceous and flowery touch of molasses, the wood is charred, smoky with bacon, spicy with baking spices, a bit medicinal and slightly tannic. 7,8:On the palate, the attack is sweet and syrupy with caramelized brown sugar, tropical fruits like a banana, dried fruits with prunes, figs, raisins and citrus with bitter orange, later yellow fruits arise.The wood goes from roasted to charred, smoked with rest, with notes like leather, bacon, caramel, spicy with baking spices, but vanilla is the first, tobacco is also noticed... 7,5:The finish is quite short, dry, tannic, diluted, still sweet with roasted wood notes, dried fruits, cherry and toasted coconut, slightly spicy, some tobacco stays...
Review by Leo Krüper
Etwas feingliedriger als der 30er. Kein überragender Rum aber klarer Panama.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Netter Panama Rum mit bekannten Noten von Tabak und geröstetem Kaffee. so schrecklich süß wie andere ihn beschrieben, finde ich ihn nicht. aber auch einfach sehr dünn und trotzdem alkoholisch an der Nase.
Review by Alexander Rasch
In der Nase noch spannend verpufft der Rum im Mund. Das kann den niedrigen 43% geschuldet sein, wirkt aber insgesamt eindimensional. Sehr süß und süffig. Dann so schnell weg, das es fast überrascht. Aber die Nase ist durchaus ansprechend.
Review by Johannes
Erstaunlich schwach! Dünn uns schmeckt vor allem gesüßt. Erstaunlich, das Silver Seal den abfüllt!
Review by Thunderbird
Oh wie schön ist Panama…. Trifft in diesem Fall leider nicht zu. Der Silver Seal ist recht süß, dünn und eindimensional… am Gaumen schmecke ich so eben noch eine leichte Fruchtnote (evtl. Litschi). Ansonsten bleibt neben dem Geschmack von zuckerähnlichem Saft nichts über
Review by Serge
Im Vegleich mit dem 1994 Silver Seal Panama (rx22558) hat der hier nicht viel zu melden. Recht dünn, süß und nicht lange genug im Fass für meinen Geschmack. Kann mich leider nicht überzeugen. Eher was für Süßrumtrinker.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
I actually don't mind this one as much. Sure, we do know what to expect with Panama, sugared profile and hopefully some leather or tobacco. This has some tobacco and wood and is smooth as butter. I did not mind this
