Sweeter aroma and taste is pleasant with hints of oak and vanilla and continues to honey and fruity finish

This is an 8-year-old rum of golden color, 40% ABV. Rum is named according to the oldest indigenous tribes living in Panama. That's why the ornaments on the label. I already had the honor to taste its more exclusive alternative Davidoff Cigar Cask, but it was suffering then. It's like drinking a leachate for the extermination of aphids.
However, this is a different story.

Rum comes in a nice chubby bottle. I like this shape for rums. The color is gold.

Aroma: After opening and pouring, you can smell vanilla, caramel and also red wine. In the background is a slight grass and tones of tobacco. I must say that the smell is very intense and pleasant, but there is no unpleasant alcohol in it. The scent reminds me a little of Emperor Sherry Finish.

Taste: At the beginning (after the first sip) it is a little sharper and not sweet. It pinches slightly in the tongue, but then becomes significantly softer and is pleasantly sweet. Vanilla and caramel are the strongest in the taste. Then you can taste the leather and as if you were licking a wooden barrel of red wine. Overall, the taste is very balanced and pleasant.

Conclusion: This is rum with an excellent ratio price vs. taste. If you are not an avid smoker, then choose this type and not Cigar Cask. What I miss a bit is the greater softness of the rum, but the fact that it's "only" 8 years old is really great. I would compare it to a less sweet variant of Contadora 15 (also Panama) or Dos Maderas 5 + 5.

Overall rating: 8.5 points from 10

The right blend, quite “manly” but enjoyable for women, too. :) Very very good.

Honestly i'm surprised, expected something less drinkable. Taste good without any mixers, ice etc. Nice-looking bottle, great price (bought on promo ~ 15€ instead of 30). Not sugared, not too much alcohol on the nose. To explore more of Panama rums definatelly!

Un rhum assez sympa compte tenu de son prix...
De la douceur (vraisemblablement du sucre ajouté mais ça reste raisonnable, on n'est pas face à un sirop) et un petit goût de vanille avec une pointe de fumé.
Rien d'exceptionnel ni de mémorable, mais le genre de bouteille qu'on peut sans problème poser sur la table pour une soirée entre copains!

This is good rum, price is okay. I can recomment for beginners, it is not sweet and flavoured, its is just rum.

Very smooth and delicate. Rather dry with a slightly sweet finish. Good price value ratio.

zmes panamskych az 8 rocnych rumov, ktora po namiesani este pol roka dozrieva vo francuzsku. aj ked je nasladly a citit v nom tazko popisatelnu kombinaciu ovocia, tak nie je uplne "zensky". dochut ostrejsia, tak viac chlapska. napriek tomu velmi dobry na popijanie, kedze ostrejsia dochut rychlo pominie. podla mna si zasluzi hodnotenie tak medzi 7-8, viac k 8. pozor ale, po naliati ho treba nechat trochu vyvetrat, aspon par minut. prvy hlt tesne po otvoreni flase moze odradit.
