Malecon 12-Year

A nice average taste and easy sipping. Not overwhelming and not a stand out.

Hits you with a flavour similar to the distinctive Cuban flavour but with a sweeter and certainly smoother finish. This rum makes me want to try the more senior rums by this producer as this 12-yr was a great taste for the price. Reminds me of butterscotch.

This is what I expect from Panama rums. Vanilla, oak, tobacco, present in nose and taste, none of these scents and flavors is stealing the show, they play nicely together, maybe the oak is a bit more pronounced than the others in the taste. I can sip this one, especially when the bottle is half empty it gets nicely mellow, it makes nice cuba libre too. Pretty versatile and balanced rum.

I found this to be very drinkable. Good color. Good nose. Nice vanilla, oak, hints of fruit and spice. It has a nice bite. Moderate sweetness with no artificial taste. Could be balanced a little better, but it is quite smooth. Nice finish. Definitely a sipper for me. Another good Panamanian rum. The astounding thing is how good this is for the price. Better than rums 3 times the price. A keeper!

Taki sobie jednym słowem jest spoko ale bez szału..

Nice bottle and overpack, but taste was disappointing, rough. Feel some unidentified fruit and vanilla.

It's a good natural rum, maybe too simple for experienced rum drinkers, but it's tasty and affordable.

..and interesting light taste rum, I taste the molasses, wood. Short, but for me pleasant flavour, something else from traditional rums like El Dorado, Mount Gay, Millonario, Malteco,..

taste - 6/10
sweetness - 6/10
price/value rating - 5.5/10

Wood, dry, vanilla taste, not a perfect rum, not a sipper, I think it is not good for the price, but for long drinks could be a perfect choice.
