Rum Nation Panama Sistema Solera 18 Años 2016

One taster calls it a "rhum doux facile à apprécier" — an easy, sweet Panama sipper. Expect caramel, chocolate, honey and butterscotch up front, with light oak, vanilla and a touch of pepper behind it. Smooth and rounded at 40%, a bit sweet for some. One reviewer notes it lands between the Malecon 25 and the Rare Proof range. Don't mix it — flat in cola.

Smooth, sweet caramel-and-chocolate Panama sipper Well-liked as a smooth, sweet-leaning Panama sipper — caramel, chocolate and honey, very drinkable. A few find it too sweet, and it's solera, not a straight 18 years.

Very nice rum. Taste-wise exactly between the 25-year-old Malecon Reserva and the Malecon Rare Prove series.
