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.

The community says
  • Vanilla-almond nose
  • Easy and soft
  • But: Short finish

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.

7.8/10

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.
