Rum Nation Panama 21-Year

Rum Nation is gifted brand. When I was deciding between this and their 12yo Barbados, I should have take the Bajan, but that's because I prefer Bajan rums. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous, and what you find inside is whole new dimensions of luxury.

A lot of fruit on the nose, with some spice but also more than a bit of alcohol burn.

Beautiful bronzed dark brown colour.

Pears at first to taste and incredibly smooth, with a pleasant afterburn. Almost more like a calvados than a rum but with some unmistakable sugary notes too.

I'm getting towards the end of my bottle and will be buying another as soon as I do.

Definitely one of my favourite rums, I've never tasted better.

Sugar: 20 gpl. This is a top shelf special occasion rum! The stylish bottle shows off the deep ruby colour which I suspect is from some aging in port casks. As for taste I detect a taste of tobacco, oak, port, and some sweetness which seems to remind me of raisins or prunes. All the flavours are well balanced and this rum is extremely smooth. The smell of this rum in the glass makes you savour the aroma several times before that first sip. I have to say this is one of the best rums I have tasted so far. My only regret is that I did not purchase more. If you see this rum in your local then buy 2 bottles; because the first one won't last long!

Finally rum of my dreams!!! I was honestly hesitant, but in the end I wanted to take a bottle of this higher nectar. Deep ruby color, it takes a few seconds to appreciate the sheer complexity. Soft and warm but at the same time really exciting. For me, it's definitely higher than the Zacapa 25y. I'll drink only on special occasions, 'cause for my taste this one is the absolute perfection!

Very very good. Rond, equilibre , complexe , intensif . A dessert by itself.

Tobacco, sherry and some kind of wood in the nose. Then dried fruit and still some sherry on the tongue. The finishing a bit rough and burning first - then tobacco and sherry take over. Long lasting.

This is a great sipping rum. Smooth not overly sweet it has a nice balance. It's complex too.

If you like Ron Abuelo Centuria this I feel is far better bang for your buck. It comes in an awesome bottle too.

Caramel, and toffee with a little "fresh" tobacco smell. Taste the rich caramel as well but not overly sweet. Noticeable flavours of Apricot and prunes. This is a very nice sipping rum.

Mild, round but complex and intensive taste. A great rum.

...awesome exquisite Bottle, you just have to look at it...

Kept it quite some time in my shelf, yet now I just could not resist anymore and I am by far not disappointed.

Good fresh scent, a dark ruby color and a distinguished mild taste...very good combo to keep on sippin'.

Will not be my last bottle!
