Whisky & Rhum Don José L‘Esprit 2004
Highly praised cask strength Panama: sweet vanilla-caramel and wood, lifted by an unusual smoky whisky note. Intense, characterful and rewarding once the alcohol has had time to open up.
Fans of sweeter Spanish-style rums who want more power, cask strength collectors, and whisky drinkers curious about a smoky, oak-driven Panama without added sugar.

Überraschend komplex - kein Aromenmonster, aber mit einer toll eingebundenen Rauchnote als Counterpart zu den süssen Würz- und Holznoten. Sehr gelungener Vertreter der Panama-Rums.
Ziemlich kräftig in der Nase, braucht definitiv erstmal Freiraum zum Atmen. Die rauchige Whisky Note hier ist sehr ungewohnt aber passt ganz gut zum dunklen, röstlastigen Rest. Nach 10 Minuten hat sich dann auch der Alkohol beruhigt. Am Gaumen dann deutlich süßer als erwartet, aber natürlich mit ordentlich Power im Alkohol. Kakao, Vanille, viel Holz und vor allem kräftiger Alkohol - der könnte dezenter bzw. besser eingebunden sein. Trotzdem spannend und vor allem nach etwas Luft sehr lecker.
Solider cask strength panama. Ungewöhnlich rauchig und intensiv.. Muss man drauf stehen
Ein recht guter Vertreter des spanischen Stils! Der Rauch passt!
