It’s the last in the “Rare Proof” series first batch for me to taste.
In nose it’s quite powerful with hints of fruit.
On the palate it’s fruity and orange is clearly recognizable. There is of course also some sweetness which is balanced with the quite high abv of 50,5%.
The final is quite long and I think I can recognize apricot.
As a summary I don’t think it reaches the same level as the 18yo and the 20yo, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad at all. Instead I think it’s another great one from Malecon.

Drinkers can expect notes of dark chocolate, toasted coconut, treacle tart, vanilla, tropical fruits, nutmeg, a little leather, dark oak, toasted nuts, mixed spice and banana bread.
The rum is bottled at a cask strength of 50.5% ABV, ensuring full intensity and thick mouthfeel.
Strong and colourful with a lot of taste - my kind of Rum!
Cocao in your mouth. The 50 % alcohol is perfect in this rum. Just enough sweetness. Liked it alot!
High proof (50,5% vol), supposedly additive free rum at a very reasonoble price. The nose is teaming with spicy leather, cocoa powder, oak and perhaps a small dose of varnish, plums and cherries as well. On the palate I pick up a slightly surprising sweetness, akin to what you might get from a matured port wine, reminding me of ripe red fruits. The is followed by rounded leather, tobacco and cocoa, fading into a tingling aftertaste of oak, black pepper and nutmeg. The alcohol is well integrated.
I’m slightly suspious towards the sweetness. If no sugar has been added, the maturation might have taken place in “wet” barrels, perhaps previously containing port wine. Under any circumstance, not a bad glass and a good place to start if you feel like trying on higher proof sipping rum.
The Ron Malecon Rare Proof Small Batch is a molasses rum from Panama, which was distilled in column style in 2003 and then allowed to store for 13 years. The rum was bottled with 50.5% alcohol. Caramel is probably used for coloring.
The Malecon can convince in the nose. Pleasant caramel and vanilla notes with a beautiful candied fruit. The nose is sweet but not palatable. A classic Panama. On the palate, the rum comes with a lot of warmth. The rum is sweet. Burnt sugar and candied fruits. Vanilla and wood. But the whole thing is not a firework of flavors. The alcohol could be better integrated, but is still in the frame. At the end, the rum becomes thinner and the described notes creep out fast.
Thanks to the high alcohol content, the rum is strong in taste but also not particularly mild on the palate. If you like Malecon and Panama Rums, you are in good hands here. The price is absolutely fair with 30-40 euros. But the 20years Rare Proof 1996 is more exciting and remains my favorite among the Malecons. I recommend the 13years old because here you can't do much wrong with the price. For sipping and mixing.
Der Ron Malecon Rare Proof Small Batch ist ein Melasse Rum aus Panama, welcher 2003 im Column Stil destilliert wurde und anschließend 13 Jahre lagern durfte. Der Rum wurde mit 50,5% Alkohol abgefüllt. Wahrscheinlich wird Zuckerkulör für die Färbung genutzt.
Der Malecon kann in der Nase durchaus überzeugen. Angenehme Karamel und Vanille Noten mit einer schönen kandierten Frucht. Die Nase ist süß aber nicht süffig. Schon irgendwie klassisch Panama. Am Gaumen kommt der Rum mit viel Wärme. Der Rum ist süß. Gebrannter Zucker und kandierte Früchte. Vanille und Holz. Das ganze ist aber kein Feuerwerk der Aromen. Der Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein, ist aber noch voll im Rahmen. Zum Ende wird der Rum dünner und die beschriebenen Noten schleichen schnell aus.
Der Rum ist dank des hohen Alkohol Gehalts kräftig im Geschmack aber auch nicht besonders mild am Gaumen. Wer Malecon und Panama Rums mag ist hier sehr gut aufgehoben. Der Preis ist mit 30-40 Euro absolut fair. Der 20years Rare Proof 1996 ist aber doch noch spannender und bleibt mein Favorit unter den Malecons. Hier macht man bei dem Preis insgesamt nicht viel Falsch.
Strong and smoth - real nice - not complicated but tasty

Best rum from Panama I've tasted. Love the high proof, gives it nice full flavor and a kick. Also a longer aftertaste. Tastes very fruity and the nose is particularly pleasant.
