“One more great rum from Malecon. I really like the Rare Proof series. This one is a little stronger than the 20yo which gives it an significant character. The thing with this series that makes them so pleasant is the richness and that they balance the sweetness with the rather high ABV.”

“Auch dieser Panama-Rum ist mir inzwischen zu süß, aber eine Durchschnittsbewertung von ungefähr 7.0 kann ich nicht ganz nachvollziehen. Süffiger Einsteigerrum mit etwas mehr Power als die in dem Segment üblichen 40%”
