Rum Nation Panama 21-Year

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 !

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.

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

En super dejlig rom med noter af rosiner - mørk chokolade og måske en anelse citrus.
Absolut en rom jeg godt kunne finde på at købe igen.

Herrlicher Duft, guter Geschmack, sehr würzig und ein wenig scharf. Guter, schöner Rum mit dem man keinesfalls einen Fehler macht, jedoch finde ich den Preis nicht ganz gerächtfertigt.

Goes down very smoothly, not sure if due to added sugar.... Can't describe too many individual flavoures, however it is very nicely balanced.
Looking forward to try more rums from this Italian brand.

Rum Nation Panama 21.
The bottle: A stylish decanter-like bottle.
Glass: A nice amber color. Scent a slightly scratchy smell of raisins and oak.
Mouth: Raisins, nuts and pepper is the first thing that hit me. Very oak character but I lack any kind of sweetness.
After Taste: . Some earth flavor and a real punch. A nut flavor but quite long.

Summary: . Something for narrow taste for me. Would like to have liked if the barrel lay in a humid cellar for some years. However, it feels that it is a rum that has been done a solid job preparing. For those who do not like sweet rommer this will be a good fit

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.

Occasion de le boire à une degustation. Vraiment excellent avec une belle rondeur en bouche.
