One more great rum from Malecon. I really like the Rare Proof series. This one is a little stronger than the 20yo which gives it an significant character. The thing with this series that makes them so pleasant is the richness and that they balance the sweetness with the rather high ABV.
This one is better than the Reserva Imperial of the same age mainly because of the ABV in my mind. I wonder how good the other versions would be if they were also having a higher ABV. A lovely and fruity rum with oak and spices.
Fruchtig, Würzig Lecker.. Die Eiche kommt schön. Guter Panama Rum
This Panama rum is now also too sweet for me, but I can't quite comprehend an average rating of around 7.0. A palatable entry-level rum with a little more power than the usual 40% in this segment
