    How does this rum taste?

    L’Esprit Panama Rum, produced at Don José distillery, is a 13-year-aged cask strength offering, bottled by Whisky & Rhum. Distilled from molasses with a column still, it features a robust 61.4% ABV. Limited to 254 bottles, this rum impresses with its complex nose of vanilla, orange, caramel, tobacco, and woody undertones. The flavor is a harmonious blend of vanilla, caramel, oily textures, barrel nuances, and a smoky finish, characterized by a balance of sweetness and intensity. It has been noted for its surprising complexity and the unique interplay of smoky and sweet woodsy flavors. The alcohol presence is bold, yet after aeration, the rum delivers a rich, flavorful experience.

    Beautiful representative of the Spanish style. A very pleasant sweetness paired with power and intensity. I like it very much, only the alcohol could be a little better integrated.

    Ein recht guter Vertreter des spanischen Stils! Der Rauch passt!

    Überraschend komplex - kein Aromenmonster, aber mit einer toll eingebundenen Rauchnote als Counterpart zu den süssen Würz- und Holznoten. Sehr gelungener Vertreter der Panama-Rums.

    Solider cask strength panama. Ungewöhnlich rauchig und intensiv.. Muss man drauf stehen
