Review by crazyforgoodbooze
der 2008er Panama Jahrgang scheint was besonderes zu sein und die 5 Jahre und paar % mehr haben dem cdi im Vergleich zum TCRL gut getan und mehr Aromen rausgelockt. extrem ungewöhnlicher Panama Rum, selten sowas fleischig, gemüsiges gehabt. etwa wie ne scharf angebratene Champignon Speck Pfanne die man mit nem guten Sherry ablöscht und dann den Bratensaft trinkt xD sehr geile Nummer!🍽️🍄🥓

01.02.2025 Retasting at the "Nordlichter Treffen 2025". Still a very good rum in my mind. --------------------- 21.12.2020 Only have notes on this one. Nose: wood, lightly roasted, raisin, nutts, marzipan, earthy, fruity. Palate: oily, wood, nutts, raisin, spicy, herbal. Finish: long and warm, dried fruit, nutts, marzipan, wood. Medium dry to dry

Hatte anfangs ein wenig Bedenken, da mir mittlerweile das Profil aus Panama gar nicht mehr so zusagt. Wurde hier aber positiv überrascht. War ein guter Begleiter zu einer Zigarre. Umso länger er im Glas war, desto besser wurde er. Zum sehr gut, hat es aber leider denoch nicht gereicht.
Review by Oliver
Schöner Panama-Rum mit Punch und Komplexität. Eher untypischer Panama-Rum.
Review by Agricoler
Wunderbarer Panama bin echt begeistert. Ich finde richtig Runde Sache. Tolle intensive Noten von getrockneten Früchten und fast ein wenig wie Pfirsicheistee und Karamell. Richtig gelungen für einen Panama Rum
Review by Leo Krüper
Schöner Panama Rum. Nicht zu trocken, wie viele ältere Panamesianer. Dafür schön Schoko, Vanille, etwas Würzigkeit. Alkohol super integriert, was bei CDI und auch Panama nicht immer so ist.
