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.
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!
Direct, woody and interesting - oaky
Nase wenig zwischen würzig und acl. Zunge irgendwas zwischen süß, würzig, Holz, Sprit... Wie gewollt und nicht gekonnt. Nix halbes und nix Ganzes. Nicht meins, schade.
