    "I really like this Rum in Cocktails. It has a prominent somky/roasted smell and taste that is very typical of Panama Rum. Considering how cheap it is (I paid 18€), it's surprisingly good for sipping, too."

The nose is light and mild. It evolves into a touch of burnt/smoked wood, which develops vanilla notes, followed by a hint of leather, mint after a little rest. 7,2:On the palate it is very silky, even creamy and sweet with bourbon fruity notes, some tropical, charred wood, dry, a bit smoky, better than Havana club 7.We could taste butterscotch melting, caramel, a bit spicy.Some metallic notes crawl in with resting the rum, perhaps also tannins. 7:The finish is thick, honeyed, dry and woody. The caramel is still there, with a hint of licorice and some smoke, as the wood is charred and citrusy or tanninic..."

    "Slightly sweet, toffee and caramel. Unfortunately very short and flat. There is also a little smoke. However, the tones come entirely from the wooden casks and the distillate doesn't bring anything in at all"
