Smells sweet like Ron Zacapa Solera 23 but only has half of the familiar taste from that rum. The dried fruit and raisiny flavors are the same but the finish is totally different and has a noticeable dryer tobacco/leather/scotch flavor. I had to sip it a few times b4 I could figure it out when I suddenly yelled out loud "Scotch"!
Overall it honestly tastes like a mix of sweetened rum and scotch. If you like both spirits then you may just love this. 6/10 because it doesn't taste like rum but is unique. Update: I've just tried Appleton 12 year rare blend and it has some similar flavor to this, apparently this scotch-y taste can be found in other rums as well. Update 2: obviously upon writing this review I was unfamiliar with funky Jamaica/Guyana style rums that give the flavor of what I thought then to be reminiscent of scotch. I only knew that this tastes like Zacapa but different on the finish. I remember it being quite sugared tho and will have to revisit at some point and might actually like it this time now that my palette has had more experience.

Good rum to sip. Smooth and complex taste. Nice sweetness. If I could, I would 8.5 points. Definitely recommendable!

Perfume and maybe some light vanilla. Super drinkable, nice level of sweetness. Golden honey like colour.

Ganske god og behagelig rom, med god smag. Noter af chokolade og lidt røg.

Going through the Panamanian offerings. Fruity complex nose on this one, tropical fruit, vanilla and sweetness, makes you want to take a sip. The initial sip is smooth and sweet, but finishes on the harsher end. Added sugar to this one maybe? Still gave it a 7, not quite as good as the Ron Duran 12, which is a bit drier and didn't oversweeten, but overall not a bad bottle for you or your average guests.

It's better in taste than on the nose. Good quality for low price.

This one is really close to Floor de Cana with extra sweeteness. I tasted a sample but I would buy a bottle.. It is a good rum!

What the title says.
The rum is a good experience from start to finish. This is what you think of when you think sipping rum.
