How does this rum taste?
The Virgin Oak Cask by El Ron del Artesano is a distinctive Panama-produced rum. Distilled from molasses in 2009 and aged for over 11 years, it presents with a strong woody aroma, paired with honey and fruity notes. At 58.1% ABV and cask strength, this limited release offers a Spanish style profile with evident influences from virgin oak aging, lacking conventional wine or whiskey cask finishes. Praised for its balance of youthful spice and complexity, it's a moderate choice for rum enthusiasts seeking unique cask-aged experiences. Many appreciate its value for the price, while complexity might not meet every palate's expectations. Perfectly hiding its high ABV, it's suggested for both newcomers and seasoned tasters interested in Panamanian rums.

This one is actually quite special from Artesano. Not diluted and no wine barrel or anything. No, cask strength and Virgin Oak, then 11 years. Was reason enough to take this bottle on the 10th GRF.Nose: initially strong and somewhat pungent alcohol. Behind that, though, nice smoky woody spicy and creamy fruity aromas. On the one hand there is light tobacco with vanilla on the other creamy taffy with coconut milk, lemon and apple. A resinous freshness with a deep nasal pull. 80Palate: pleasantly powerful. Initially bitter-salty and woody-spicy. Red pepper with vanilla, almost some umami. Then goes towards pecan, has a tart sweetness, like currant and orange peel and closes with blackberry. Back nutty with light umami and wood. 82Must feel your way, then good.
Schöner Panama Rum. Sicher auch gut für Einsteiger in Fassstärke geeignet. Virgin Oak sonst nicht mein Fall, aber hier ergänzt es den trockenen Rum gut. Super PLV.
Vorab, entweder man mag die Abfüllungen von El Ron del Artesano oder nicht. Ich finde was hier teilweise mit Fass Finish erreicht wird sehr interessant und biete auch gerade Neulingen in der Rum Welt diese sehr gern an. Um es kurz und schmerzlos zu machen: Solide, ehrlich Abfüllung mal wieder von Sebastian. Weiter so, ich bleibe ein treuer Fan.
Tasted as a 5cl sample.First of all, the 55.9% are perfectly hidden. Neither on the nose nor on the palate to make out. Otherwise, I would have liked more intensity overall. Smell and taste are quite similar. Honey, vanilla, wood and some cinnamon. Uncomplicated rum, in which unfortunately the limit of the flavors to be discovered is quickly reached.Fortunately, I tried the rum as a sample, and not directly bought ne bottle. Not to be misunderstood, it is tasty, but you look for complexity in vain.Edit: Second tasting revealed no new notes, and also in terms of complexity rather at the lower end of the rum food chain. Crosstasting with the other cask finishes could, however, provide a little more tension.
