I saw this one locally and was surprised because I had to drive 200 miles to get the other three in this lineup. Since I was disappointed with their 12 year old, I never bothered to even try this entry level one. So I had a WTF moment and brought it home for $25 US.

The legend of Don Pancho from Panama is truly incredible, but I will spare you with that story here. This one tastes very similar to their 12 year rum, which I also rated as a 6. As for their 15 year and 21 year rums, both of those I have rated as a 9. What a difference aging makes for these rums, and I had previously said that 8 years is optimum aging for rums in the Caribbean. So much for that theory.

This one can be sipped neat and is neither repulsive nor memorable. It tastes only a tiny bit better and at more than twice the price of Doorly's 5 year old, so why bother with this one at all.

The bottle is an exact replica of a rum bottle from the 1600's that washed ashore in Abaco, where these investors are from. If you want one of these bottles, spend twice as much for their 15 year rum, which is the best buy in this lineup.

Laka Lono rum tasting 3/22/23. Pale yellow color. Mild honeysuckle aroma. Thin in body. Cane sugar. Chalky finish with residual pepper. Mild brown sugar. OK

Had my first taste yesterday. A little thin on aroma and taste. However it will get you where you want to be, just not as satisfyingly.
