    • Balanced sweetness
    • Good for beginners

    The 21 Years - Reserva Imperial rum from Malecon distillery in Panama is a well-aged rum with a rich profile. Distilled from molasses using a column still and matured for 21 years, it offers a smooth 40% ABV experience. Users often highlight its caramel, almond, and fruity notes both on the nose and palate. A touch of wood complements its sweetness while adding complexity. Despite its robust flavors, some find it slightly more aggressive than expected for its ABV, yet praise its potential and beginner-friendly attributes. It’s often compared to younger variants, where its price is noted to be relatively high, reflecting its premium aging process.

    "A medium sweet rum with a light touch of wood. The fruits, spices and caramel put a nice backbone into this rum. Unfortunately the price, when compared to the 15 year old, is a bit steep."

    "solider Spanier. etwas medizinisch und röstig im Abgang. für 40% könnte er etwas milder sein."

    "Schöner rum. Ein klein wenig zu süß und und zu schwach. Aber tolle Aromen die viel Potential haben. Schöner Einsteiger"
