Malecon Seleccion Esplendida (RX4222)

The Seleccion Esplendida is a 29-year-old rum hailing from Malecon distillery in Panama. Distilled in 1987 from Molasses using a Column Still, this unique expression boasts a 40% ABV. With its prominent woody and oak notes on the nose, accompanied by spice, vegetal and floral hints, this rum offers a complex and vivid aroma profile. The flavor profile, on the other hand, features a delightful blend of sweetness with woody, oak, nutty, and dried fruit tones. While some users found the finish to be somewhat brief, the overall smoothness and well-balanced notes of this rum leave a favorable impression on rum aficionados.

„Though it has a short finish it's still a pretty good rum. I have all of the releases on my shelf and this is the most recent one. Ligh and well balanced rum with a touch of oak and vanilla. In the back i find nuttyness and tobacco.“

„Trochu zklamání, na to, že rum je skoro můj ročník… Rum je sladší, uhlazený, zakulacený, ale až tak, že mu skoro chybí tělo a má krátký dojezd…“
