Cave Guildive Secret Panama Rum 2006
One member sums it up as "banana split in flüssig" — liquid banana split — and that fruit-forward sweetness is the surprise here. Caramel, honey and vanilla carry a well-integrated 60%, with oak running from nose to a long finish. Under the sweetness sit grilled lime, pineapple and a menthol-eucalyptus twist that lifts it above the usual soft Panama profile.

- Alcohol well hidden

How does Cave Guildive Secret Panama Rum 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 13 community reviews.
Fruity, sweet Panama with a menthol twist Fans call it their top Panama reference — fruity, complex and remarkably easy for the proof. The catch is the sweet, oak-driven style: not one for dry-rum purists.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
At the price tag this is a great rum. Very well balanced and I like the oak is there from nose to finish. The oak is especially strong in the long finish. Fruity and sweet with spices and some chokolate sprinkles on top. I like the spice finish.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Banana split in flüssig, sehr Süffig! Im Abgang kommt eine mega geile Note von gegrillten Limetten, Eukalyptus Bonbons, Ananas und gegrillten Bananen. Für mich meine absolute top Panama Referenz! Sehr sehr lecker und ungewöhnlich aromatisch!
