How does this rum taste?
Malecon's 13 Years Rare Proof brings a lively Panamanian personality, kicking off with caramel-laden toffee, dried fruit, banana, and a hint of smoky molasses in the aroma. RumX members pick up on rounded sweetness and balanced wood, plus playful hits of burnt sugar and raisin on the palate. As LukaŽiga notes, "smoky, charred wood, burnt sugar... a variety of fruits" define the tasting, while Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰 highlights "lots of flavour in a well balanced rum." For those curious to explore a crowd-appreciated rum, it's worth seeking out via RumX.

With this rum you get bang for your buck. Lots of flavour in a well balanced rum at a nice ABV. Fruity and sweet as it always is with Malecon and also the wood and spices. I'm not sure, but I think I sensed a hint of leather in there as well Price to quality is very good.
I’m not a big fan of the Spanish styled Ron, but I like the Rare Proof series from Malecon. I believe it depends on the rich taste and that the sweetness is very good balanced with the quite high ABV. This one isn’t the best of them, but certainly a very good one anyway.
This rum from Panama is very similar to the sweet rums from the Dominican Republic. Very fruity and caramel nose, with an inevitable smoky note. In the mouth sweet, mild and round, the 50% is not noticeable. However, the mouthfeel is not really complex: sweet, smoky and some fruit. Overall impression nevertheless quite good, especially the price-quality ratio.
Crassly good rum for this price! Beautiful dried fruit, lots of freshness, well-integrated sweetness and pleasant finish. Gladly again!
