Thomas Sontheimer T.Sonthi Panama

"Süss, süss, süss" is how one member sums this Panama column-still up, and most agree — honey, vanilla and toffee with a walnut edge, tasting like a liquid dessert more than a traditional rum. A few pick up dried apricot and a spiced-rum warmth. Several drinkers landed on the same verdict: pleasant, but the sugar buries most of the rum underneath.

The community says
  • Honey and vanilla

How does Thomas Sontheimer T.Sonthi Panama taste?

From community reviews · summarized with AI

Very sweet, dessert-style walnut-vanilla sipper Most tasters call it very sweet — honey, vanilla, walnut and toffee, closer to a spiced rum or dessert than a dry sipper. Nice enough, but the sugar dominates for many.

Notes remind of caramel and vanilla. A fruity undertone joins in. Besides hearty tropical fruits, one notices a hint of spice and oak.

Yesterday for the second time tried the Sonthi Rum Panama at a rum tasting. I downgraded it a bit because it is now too sweet for me. You can taste some nuts and also vanilla as well as spices typical for a spiced rum.

Bottle Market Bremen October 2024. Taken by daring, just because 4/6 were missing in the set. Well, not much rum, immediately a very sweet nose, vanilla and honey, but also walnut is recognizable. On the palate also quite sweet, honey, vanilla and caramel, also some nut is noticeable. As already written, this is a liquid dessert.

Clearly way too sweet! But overall consistent as a spiced rum.

Got the chance to try this today. You can tell from the nose what to expect in terms of taste. Very sweet, lots of vanilla and caramel. So the smell and taste are very similar. Definitely an option for sweet rum drinkers. Not really my taste though.

The sweetness covers other possible impressions. Tasting on the occasion of the Sugarcane Days in Hamburg 2023.

Nice rum, I wouldn't buy it because it doesn't suit my taste, luckily I had a sample.

I can't understand the previous positive reviews here. This is a sweet spirit based on rum and not rum. The added sugar and the walnut aroma don't make it better. For the money, better buy 4 bottles of Frangelico, it also goes down better with the ladies ;)
