Malecon Seleccion Esplendida 1982
Vanilla, caramel and toasted almond up front, with cinnamon and a whisper of oak behind — soft, sweet and easy at 40%. This is a gentle Panama sipper that several members found genuinely pleasant, even beginner-friendly. The catch nearly everyone agrees on: the finish falls short, going bland and quick just when the rest promised more. One taster wished for a bit more proof to carry it.

How does Malecon Seleccion Esplendida 1982 taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Soft, sweet Panama sipper with a short finish Well-liked as a soft, easy pour, but the short flat finish keeps coming up as the one real letdown. Some wanted more punch than 40% gives.

A great rum. Unfortunately I would have liked a longer finish, but a great rum nonetheless.

Pleasant sweet balanced taste, caramel, honey, spices, maybe a little nutty and very very fine woodiness. Excellent light rum even for a beginner, the only weakness is the short and bland finish for me.
Review by Pavel Spacek
It taste like aged in mushroom cask
Review by Lupo Alberto
A good Rum. Mahogany color somewhat tending toward orange (certainly more so than its little brother 1985). The aroma is fantastic and includes classic vanilla, leather, tobacco, with some earthy notes. The taste is equally complex, pleasant and not too sweet, with natural flavors. If I really have to find two faults, the first is that I would have preferred a slightly higher alcohol content, while the second is the finish, which does not live up to everything else. The cork betrays the long time since bottling, but still retains its properties.
