    Top 15% Las Cabras

    The best sweet Spanish styled I’ve ever tasted and of course it is from Panama which seems to be my favorite country of origin when it comes to sweet Spanish rum. Hard to see that any other should beat it.

    Another of the nice rums in the tasting today This is an even better version of the 21 year old. I think this one would merge well with a nice cigar in hand. Extremely well balanced and you can basically taste the age. The price tag for this bottle is very good compared to what you get.

    The palate is extremely rich with flavors of dried cherries, sultanas, vanilla and a hint of nutmeg and banana. The finish is long and smooth with notes of baking spices.

    Likely the most tasteful rum I've tried at 40% ABV. Starting Monday evening well, this rum has a fullness in the nose with hints of caramel tobacco and wood. In the notes I got vanilla, caramel and hints of bourbon. Minimal woody taste-notes, despite the high age
