How does this rum taste?
Most love its dense coffee-chocolate profile, elegant oak and surprising balance at 61%. Critics find it a bit too woody or bitter. Consensus: a top-tier, dry, serious Spanish-style Panama.
If you enjoy serious, dry Spanish-style rums like Rumclub Panama or older Demeraras, this pushes similar coffee-wood depth with no sugar and big but well-integrated strength.
Those sensitive to high ABV, looking for sweet, easygoing Panamas, or drinkers who dislike prominent oak and a touch of bitterness in the finish.

Mit Abstand der beste rum aus panama den ich persönlich je getrunken habe. Cremig weich und dabei doch charaktervoll. Lang anhaltendenes Aroma machen den rum komplett. Leder habe ich heute den letzten schluck davon getrunken
Another of the nice rums in the tasting today A really nice 37 year old with a lot of coffee notes. The colour is all natural and no added sugar either. An amazingly good rum with a bit of a price tag, but still well within the value of the quality offered. Can be hard to get your hands on, so if you get the chance, grab it
extrem rund für 37y tropical aging... geile Nummer. absoluter Ausnahme Panama Rum! im blind tasting könnte man den schnell Mal mit Demerara verwechseln. Hintenraus bekommt er ne sehr abgefahrene, leicht bittere Note nach Maggikraut und Minze und altem Sherry.
Sehr vollmundiger und komplexer Rum, dem mein sein Alter positiv anmerkt. Schöne würzige Fass-Aromen, der Geschmack von getrockneten Früchten und Noten von Kakao sind nur ein kleiner Teil des Geschmacksspektrums. Möglicherweise gibt es komplexere Rums diesen Alters, aber allein aufgrund der Verfügbarkeit lohnt sich dieser Rum! Edit: Beim zweiten Probieren überraschend kräuterig. Insgesamt aber etwas unausgewogener als der Rum-Club Panama, der mit einem Jahr weniger deutlich mehr Tiefe mitbringt. Punktet dann aber wieder im Abgang, die getrockneten Pflaumen klingen lange nach!
