S.B.S Panama 2006
Highly praised as an easy-drinking yet flavorful high-strength Panama with caramel, spice and dark fruits. Warm finish, good value and alcohol very well integrated.
Fans of Spanish-style rums who want a sweeter-leaning, caramel-and-fruit profile with more ABV punch but without aggressive funk or heavy oak.

Panama und ich sind gute Freunde. Dieser Rum trifft genau mein Geschmacksprofil, deshalb auch die überdurchschnittliche Bewertung. Leichte Noten von Karamell, ein bisschen würzig und dabei den ABV sehr gut eingebracht. Im Abgang lang und warm.
An interesting opportunity to taste Varela rum in higher strength. And I must say, it is pretty solid one with flavour profile of sweet honey and dark forest fruits. The nose is predominantely dark with dried fruits, wood and clear port influence. There is also bit of spices, but it did not prepare me what is to come in the taste! The mouthfeel has medium density and it's full of forest berries! But like really full. I love it. There is also some honey and sweet spices. The only thing I am a bit upset about is the finish, which is quite short and not too dominant. Was it more pronounced, I'd rate this rum higher. But still I can say I really like this.
Odor: toasted / caramelized Tastes less toasted than the nose might suggest. A little spicy but round and caramelized to the taste. Good intensity. Average length on the palate. The alcohol is not too dominant, and you don't really feel that it's 57%. A pleasant surprise, a nice, accessible rum.
The woody flavors are quite noticeable, but are not dominant. There are spicy, fruity and also sweet hints which add extra character and depth. A pleasant and nice easy drinking rum 👍
