"This is the last Malecon in the “Rare Proof” series for me to taste. It’s like the others some of the best sweet “Spanish styled” rum in my opinion cause the ABV around 50% balance the sweetness in a good way."
"Nice spaniel. Although lately I have the feeling that sweet rums don't do anything for me anymore, this was pleasantly different. Dried fruit with a bit of spice and a longer, very pleasant finish. I'll repeat myself again. A perfect rum for a non-rum visit."
"Gutes Beispiel, weshalb ich fast gar keinen Rum spanischen Stils mehr trinke. Mit Farbstoff, gefühlt auch merklich Dosage, dazu ein langweiliges und eindimensionales, wenngleich gefälliges Profil. Ab ins Tiramisu damit!"
