Rum Nation Panama 21-Year

The first thing you notice is the presentation. It packaging is great and I was cautiously optimistic about what was inside. Once I opened the bottle the smell was amazing. Great colour and taste. Very balanced sweetness and complexity. It was a bit sweeter than the Flor De Cana because of the added sugars but it worked. Caramel with notes or orange/apricots.

A great Rum that I shall buy again.

Ich habe selten so einen guten Rum getrunken. Er ist nicht ganz günstig, aber wenn die Flasche leer ist werde ich eine neue kaufen.

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.

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.

Raisins, chocolate, delicious, perfect sipper. Great aroma.

Tasted this following a meal in a Peruvian restaurant in Belgium, together with the Millonario XO and the Matsulem 23. Now, besides eating some well seasoned Peruvian dishes, I had also consumed a significant amount of wine before we got to the rum, so I couldn't taste too critically, but I can say the Rum Nation Panama delighted me, as did the Millonario XO. I rank them more or less on par, but if I had to choose I'd go for the Rum Nation, as it's slighty less fruity and stays interesting a bit longer. Both finished far ahead of the Matsulem.

Rum z produkce italské společnosti Rum Nation, která má v nabídce podobně jako francouzský Plantation rumy původem z mnoha zemí.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Panama
Aroma: Vůně je od první chvíle nádherně vyzrálá, uhlazená, bohatá. Příjemně nasládlá (jen lehce, není to žádná sladká bomba jako třeba od A.H.Riise). Velký podíl vůně si pro sebe zabírá cedrové dřevo, dál nacházím čokoládu, kakao, je tu lehký dotek kůže, za tím pak lehce hřebíček, skořice, exotické dřevo, ale třeba i závan máty, pendreku a lékořice. Velmi komplexní vůně, to se mi moc líbí. (93 b)
Chuť: Chuť je jemně nasládlá, velejemná. Následuje cedr, med, kakao, rozinky, trochu snad i opálený sud, pikantní exotická dřevitost. V dochuti táhlý hutný dojem dřeva, s vlivem hřebíčku. Řekl bych, že v Rum Nation našli ideální poměr mezi jemností a bohatostí. (93 b)
Body: 93
Shrnutí: Skvělý rum, jsem rád, že jsem ho koupil, i když není nejlevnější. Stylově má něco podobného hned s několika rumy, nejvíc asi s Presidente Marti a Quorhum 30, ale našel bych i podobnost třeba s Pampero Anniversario. Musím pochválit i skvělou barvu a nádhernou lahev tohoto rumu.

Received as a gift from my Rum Mate, this Panama 21 did not dissapointed me. Presented in a nicely styled bottle with a classy solid topper, the Panama 21 has a nice dark brown with ruby reflects. The first mounth is forthright but not too much. Chocolate, caramel aroma are well presented as well as fruit flavor like date or prune. These aromas are more present in the glass than in the mouth which is a little bit sad but definitively not a big deal. Flavors and aroma can lead to think about a sherry finish but it is not the case. Really a beautiful product from ouside as well as inside !

I had the pleasure to test this one i sought after a long time.
I like rums of panama, i have a sweet tooth but they aren't too sweet,still a very rich complex flavour.very very good

...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!
