Bold and chocolatey, yet slightly unbalanced.

A bold Panamanian rum with dominant alcoholic, spicy, and chocolate flavors but with some uneven flavor integration across its robust profile.



How does this rum taste?

  • Bold chocolate notes
  • Creamy texture
  • High heritage value

The "Panama (Bottled for Premium Spirits)" rum, bottled by Compagnie des Indes, is a 13-year-old limited edition Panamanian spirit distilled from molasses in a column still. Brimming with robust alcoholic, spicy, and chocolate notes, it embodies a classic, albeit slightly challenging, profile. The rum's aroma presents a metallic hint alongside vanilla and milk chocolate nuances, while its taste follows with woody and licorice undertones. User reviews highlight its dominant alcoholic and spicy elements, with some finding the high ABV overpowering. While it features intriguing chocolatey dimensions, the integration of flavors might seem unbalanced to some, making it a bold yet polarizing choice for aficionados.

"This has a rather good nose, of some intense, even if sligthly faulty Demerara. The alcohol helps a lot. But on the palate this then fails completely like an uber bordered cask and at the end just muff and sugar"

"Die Nase ist so verschlossen, dass es schwer fällt überhaupt irgendwas zu erkennen. Etwas Alkohol, Karamell und Vanille sind zu erahnen, wirklich unterirdisch. Auch am Gaumen kommt nichts rüber, absolut flach. Hab mir im Vorfeld nicht viel erhofft und genauso kam es leider auch."

"Hier ein eindeutiger Vertreter des „spanischen Stils“. Nase: zunächst kommt der Alkohol unangenehm stechend daher und der Rum wirkt sehr metallisch. Das habe ich häufiger bei rel. jungen „Spaniern“. Dahinter wird er fruchtiger, mit saurer Limette, Sauerkirsche und Apfel. Zudem würzig-schokoladig-holzig mit Vanille und Kakaopulver. Insgesamt unaufgeregt. 72 Gaumen: auch hier zu Beginn alkoholisch-metallisch, dann kommt aber schnell eine angenehme würzig-holzige, schokoladig-lakritzige Note. Das Ganze leicht bitter und hinten cremiger werdend. 74 Der hohe ABV ist nicht so gut integriert, transportiert aber die Aromen und erzeugt die angenehme cremigkeit. Solide aber mehr auch nicht."

"Sehr schokoladiger Panama Rum, Alkohol mäßig eingebunden und relativ eintönig. Einseitiger Geruch, Geschmack nur wenig vielseitig, das beste ist der Angang, der cremig schokoladig ist."
