The extra proof helps a bit but it still seems to be more sweet than it should be. It hasn't been around that long, maybe three years? Maybe I have had more recent bottles because I usually have it as a float on a drink at my local tiki bar and they probably go through a lot of it. In fact I know they do! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Thanks, I have it, tried it and liked it. It was my re-introduction to rum way after my high school days of Ron Rico 151. It was recommended by the owner of a store near me so I tried it. i know it's from Panama, just didn't know where it fit in the rum hierarchy. Does not seem to be one of the overly sweet ones. It is finished in bourbon casks, that's why he said I should try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am curious if it is really 21 years old or if some “solera” shenanigans are involved. I suspect it is the later… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
