    How does this rum taste?

    • Pronounced chocolate and cocoa flavors
    • Complex sweetness with diverse notes
    • Good single cask value

    Rum Artesanal Panama Rum, distilled at Don José distillery, presents unique character with 57.5% ABV and 12-year aging. Aromas include intense vanilla, caramel, and zesty orange. The palate balances creamy vanilla, citrus, and cocoa sweetness, though users note a harsh alcohol presence. Diverse reviews highlight its pronounced chocolate notes, citrus elements with adhesive undertones, and peppery finish. A value option in the single cask category, some criticize it for its acidity and artificial aroma, yet many find pleasure in its complex sweetness. RumX users place it among noteworthy Panamanian rums, although its bold profile may not suit everyone.

    "This is a rum in the lower end of the price scale and it still performs pretty well. Fruity and sweet with some light roasted wood and spices. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is nice with some tobacco and chocolate."

    "Nein ich rieche an diesem Rum nicht wirklich gerne, das kann man nicht gerade sagen. In der Nase relativ einseitig überlagert mit Noten von künstlicher Zitrus, medizinischer Desinfektion und viel Säure. Das alles sticht eher und auch wenn es nach einer gewissen Zeit wesentlich angenehmer wird, rettet das letztendlich nicht den sehr unrunden Eindruck Im Mund war ich dann positiv überrascht. Angenehm Süß, geschmeidig und nicht mehr wirklich aufdringlich. Die Frucht hat immer noch die Überhand, insgesamt wirkt jedoch alles viel ausgewogener. Was dennoch bleibt ist die recht künstliche Zitrusnote"

    "Super fruchtig in der Nase im Mund dann alkoholisch mit schokoladigen Noten aber eben auch pfefferig alkoholisch scharf. Wenn dieser Rum den Ursprung zeigen soll prima aber als easy sipper? No way"
