    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the balance: rich caramel, dark chocolate and coffee lifted by dried fruit and faint smoke. The oily, smooth palate shows red-fruit flashes and a woody, gently bitter finish. Often enjoyed neat—one reviewer even praised it in an Old Cuban. With 10 community reviews and only 265 bottles, this cask-strength Panama release earns confident nods for flavor over flash.

    In 2018, Blackadder bottled two exciting Panama rums. The color as dark as colored rums from Guyana or Trinidad. The alcohol content is as low as old Armagnac. Of the 15 and 20-year-old duo, I particularly like the 15-year-old. The rum is not a monster of complexity, but it brings perfect balance to the point. Raisins and chocolate on the nose. Really a lot of it. Coffee, caramel, like a giant espresso caramel with roasted hazelnut. But alongside this sweet side, tobacco, cloves and orange peel add a lovely depth to the rum. The game continues in the mouth. First coffee-caramel candy with some tonka, but then also an amazingly clear fruit (red apple and red currant) and towards the finish with a woody, tiring bitterness, which is, however, very well integrated into the sweet and fruity flavors. Wood and toasty caramel on the finish. This is relaxed, but not the highlight of this excellent Panamarum. If you are looking for a reference in this profile, you can compare it with the WDC Cuban 1992, which is not quite at the same level. Nevertheless, it is the best Panamarum I know (and there aren't many yet). By the way, he also makes a great Old Cuban 😉🤤

    blackadder panama 1998 & blackadder panama 2003 im Direktvergleich. Beide sind sich vom Profil sehr ähnlich. Leckere süße Rums spanischen Stils, die überraschend rauchig sind. Der Panama aus 1998 ist dabei etwas rauchiger und hinterlässt im Abgang kalte Asche. Der jüngere Vertreter ist am Gaumen gefälliger, öliger und sehr süffig mit etwas weniger Rauch und keiner Asche. Blind hätte ich hier auf einen Rum mit Zuckerzugabe getippt. Panama 1998: 83 Pkt. Panama 2003: 85 Pkt.

    Verkoste den hier erst mal einzeln und dann in einer zweiten Session gegen den 20yo. Nase ist satt geladen mit Karamell, dunkler Schokolade, Rosinen, Röstnoten, Leder und Fass. Am Gaumen dann das gleiche mit etwas Kaffee und einer Fruchtigkeit nach roten Früchten. Sehr guter Panama bleibt aber für mich noch hinter rx242 (Bellamy 1983)
