Sipped neat, this is a soft, classic Panama pour built around vanilla, caramel and plenty of bourbon-cask influence. One member nailed it as Nutella — hazelnut, milk chocolate and nougat. For 24 years old it's surprisingly restrained on the oak, and at 52.7% the alcohol stays well integrated. The one gripe: the finish runs short and fades quickly.

Soft Panama sipper, vanilla and Nutella notes Members find it elegant and easy to like — smooth, chocolatey and well-aged — with the only real knock being a finish that thins out fast.

I had the pleasure of trying one of the last bottles at Nicolas’s bar at the GAF. Very tasty, classic for Panama. It has everything a rum needs for me. I wouldn’t pay the secondary market prices for it. If you get it at a fair price, absolutely recommendable.

Ein sehr schöner und runder Rum aus Panama mit einem wunderbar weichen Mundgefühl. Im Geruch wie auch im Geschmack viel Vanille und Holz mit etwas Karamell. Zu Beginn leicht Alkoholisch, was aber schnell verfliegt. Die 52.7 % sind gut eingebunden. Das leere Glas behält sanfte Tabaknoten.
Review by Martin Spooner
Very subtle nose. Nutty caramel. On the palate, nice caramel notes with a good portion of vanilla. On the finish, however, a bit weak. All in all, though, a decent rum. Very well selected, Nicolas.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Unbelievably fair for 100€. Strongly reminds me of Nutella with intense hazelnut milk chocolate nougat notes, plus a lot of bourbon influence. For 24 years also not too woody. Very tasty and elegant! Great stuff! And I love the tiger duck! 😄❣️
Review by Hans-Peter Jank
The TST #4 is a 24-year-old Panama rum. Bottled in 2001 in American bourbon barrels by Varola Hermanos. The rum has a mature woody note, tastes of caramel and vanilla. The finish is short.
Review by Icebird
A very nice and pleasant Panama rum that is very smooth in the mouth and brings a lot of vanilla. I really like it 👍
