Review by Stefan Persson
This is the last Malecon in the “Rare Proof” series for me to taste. It’s like the others some of the best sweet “Spanish styled” rum in my opinion cause the ABV around 50% balance the sweetness in a good way.
Review by Buddudharma
Gutes Beispiel, weshalb ich fast gar keinen Rum spanischen Stils mehr trinke. Mit Farbstoff, gefühlt auch merklich Dosage, dazu ein langweiliges und eindimensionales, wenngleich gefälliges Profil. Ab ins Tiramisu damit!
Review by Nick Gerrard
Direct, woody and interesting - oaky
Review by R Wehner
Nase wenig zwischen würzig und acl. Zunge irgendwas zwischen süß, würzig, Holz, Sprit... Wie gewollt und nicht gekonnt. Nix halbes und nix Ganzes. Nicht meins, schade.
Review by Blockzeitwilli
This is my first Spanish-style rum that I can really get something out of. Nice, somewhat more complex aroma of spices, some wood and orange. The taste doesn't disappoint either and again spices and orange are present. The finish is warm and of medium length.
Review by JR007
Schöne Süße mit Anklängen von trockenen Früchten überlagert von einem Kräuter - Potpourri. Besonders bemerkenswert ist der sehr lange Abgang
Review by Filip Šikula
Nice spaniel. Although lately I have the feeling that sweet rums don't do anything for me anymore, this was pleasantly different. Dried fruit with a bit of spice and a longer, very pleasant finish. I'll repeat myself again. A perfect rum for a non-rum visit.
Review by Pavel Spacek
A lot of molases
