Enjoyed back-to-back Malecon Seleccion Esplendida 1982 and 1987 while in Tokyo. Very nice and sturdy bottle design but rather dull label design. Both 1982 and 1987 are true 30 year old rums, none of that Solera shenanigans. Deep amber mahogany color. Plenty of nuts and vanilla mixed with mild oakiness to the nose and palate when neat sipped. Super smooth ending. Both are simply spectacular rums, but the 1982 to me seemed too dry.
