How does this rum taste?
Malecon's Rare Proof 2002 is a 17-year-old Panamanian rum with a distinct Spanish style, produced using molasses and a column still. Aged at an impressive 51.2% ABV, it offers a gourmand exploration of fruity, spicy, and woody aromas with a sweet undertone. Key scents include orange peel and cinnamon, while the palate showcases dried fruit and honey complexities, punctuated by a notable spicy finish. Though divisive among reviewers, some appreciate its balance of sweetness and strength, deeming it ideal for fans of sweet, Spanish-style rums. Others critique its lack of depth and potential for complexity, suggesting it be enjoyed by those new to the genre.

This is my first Spanish-style rum that I can really get something out of. Nice, somewhat more complex aroma of spices, some wood and orange. The taste doesn't disappoint either and again spices and orange are present. The finish is warm and of medium length.
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.
Schöne Süße mit Anklängen von trockenen Früchten überlagert von einem Kräuter - Potpourri. Besonders bemerkenswert ist der sehr lange Abgang
Direct, woody and interesting - oaky
