Rum Nation Panama Decenter 18-Year

Väldigt god inte för söt och smakrik rom. Ingen spritsmak och det passar mig väldigt väl.

Sød og forfriskende, god balance. Lidt pebret i eftersmagen.

40%ABV rum from Panama, aged for 18 years in bourbon and sherry casks. It is a classic Spanish-style molasses rum distilled on a column still.

Bottle: New type of square shape.
Colour: Dark amber.

Nose: Sweet wine, vanilla, raisins, honey, candied orange and woody oak notes.
Taste: Pleasant, sweet but a little watery with a slight burn on the tongue. There is possible to recognize elderberry juice, honey, dark chocolate, raisins, pepper, tangerine, cola and a slight bitterness from the wood.
Aftertaste: Short to medium.

Finish: A good sweet rum for easy evening sipping. It is good, but lacks more flavour variety.
Rating: 7.5/10

Rum nation has brought Panamanian rums back up to the forefront of central american rums (my favourite terroir). Smells of honey. Tastes of plum, leather and light oak. Smooth with a dry finish. Perfect sipper. Fancy bottle to boot, but the price is a bit steep.

Good flavours nice an smooth. Mellow and sweet. Not harsh at all.

Basically a nice and cute, smooth rum, nothing wrong with it. Lot of honey, sweetness and hint of wood (probably oak) in the background. Both palate and finish are nice here. The finish is little drier, darker but not overly spicy which I really hate (spiceness) on mediocre Spanish style rums.
No way exceptional as there is buttloads of similar style rums where Panama 18yo is, IMO, arguably among the better samples.
A good vitrine-type choice and eye-candy and cool, broadly acceptable drink for everyone but nothing to impress advanced drinkers or even weird-rum lovers.
Will never re-purchase this rum as no reason but easily finish the one (and last) bottle.
A weak 7/10 but with negative bias growing to this rum style, probably recommendable to sweet, bourbon style rum lovers (yet this is not close to elixirs).

Very nice taste, smooth, hints of oak and honey, end is fruitty.

Aroma is loght with honey and some light spice (mint?) tones. Taste is smooth, slightly sweet again with honey and oak. Not very complex but pleasant. Aftertaste could be longer and is a bit bitter on the end. Good choice for beginners and womens. 8.5 points.
