Don José RA Panama Rum 2006

Most enjoy the intense cocoa, vanilla sweetness and fair price. Critics mention sharp alcohol, artificial citrus and an unbalanced nose. Consensus: unusual but tasty Panama that rewards patience and air.

    How does this rum taste?

    Unusual but tasty cocoa-driven Panama
    Who is this rum for?

    You’ll probably like this if you enjoy slightly offbeat, cask-strength Latin rums: odd and gluey in the nose at first, but turning into a creamy, cocoa-heavy sweet sipper on the palate.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers expecting a smooth, classic Panama sipper without sharp alcohol or artificial-leaning citrus aromas.

    Aroma

    Vanilla Caramel Orange Spice

    Taste

    Vanilla Orange Sweet Cocoa

    What an experience! Super strange but tasty :D

    #keinprofi Dieser Rum ist bestimmt besser, als ich ihn bewertet habe. Ich mag den stechenden Geruch ebensowenig wie die leicht rauchige Note. Gut, dass beides im Geschmack weniger hervortritt, als in der Nase. Interessant ist die pfeffrige Schärfe, die dieser Rum mitbringt. In meiner limitierten Erfahrung habe ich auch schon höhere Alkoholgehalte im Glas gehabt, die sanfter waren.

    Tolle Nase, überraschenderweise mit einer für spanischen Rum deutlichen Klebstoffnote.

    Intensiv nach Kakao und dunkler Schokolade. Ideale Alkoholstärke. Mit einer der besten aus panama für mich.
