Malecon 1979 Seleccion Esplendida

This is an excellent sipping rum, nice aroma, reminiscent of a fine cigar. Very smooth, great finish, no harshness to it at all. Should have bought it in London as it is not sold in the USA, unfortunately.

Rum tasting in New Orleans continued onwards with Rum Malecon 1979. Very nice bottle and label design surrounded by a hand blown glass case. Dark mahogany color. Caramel, vanilla, nuts and oh so much sweetness to your nose and palate when neat sipped. Super sweet burn at the end. It would be a spectacular rum when less sweet.

Pleasant taste of burnt sugar, very easy to drink.

one of my best rum, a highlight!
smooth and light in the nose. a kind sweetness in the air.
thick toffee but not sweet, a bit pepper and wood.
and as i write this still in my mouth.
GREAT
