Perola Las Cabras Bellamy's Reserve Panama 1997
Roasted hazelnut, nougat and dark chocolate lead the way here — several tasters say it could pass blind for a single-barrel bourbon. Orange peel and marmalade brighten the nut-and-cocoa core, with espresso and maple in the finish. At 52.3% the alcohol is mostly well integrated, though a couple of members find it runs sweet and a few call it too hot neat.

- Bourbon-like
- But: Reads sweet

Hinweis: Tätigkeit bei Perola GmbH (Spirituosenbranche), teilweise berufliche Involvierung bei bewerteten Abfüllungen. Alle Bewertungen sind meine persönliche, unbezahlte Meinung. Nase: geröstete Haselnüsse, Nougat, Vanille, getrocknete Aprikose, Bourbon, mild und warm, butterkekse, fass, orangenschale + Marmelade Geschmack: nuss Nougat Creme zum trinken mit Bums🤤 alkohol sehr gut integriert, fass, datteln, orangenschale, Orangenmarmelade, dunkle zartbitterschokolade, kakao, kräftiger espresso, vanilleschote, ahornsirup, pekannüsse, etwas tabak im abgang, jaffa cakes in flüssig, falls die noch wer kennt? Zartbitterschoko, biscuit keks und orangenmarmelade drin? auf jeden Fall richtig leckerer Stoff!🤤 könnte blind glatt als Single Barrel Bourbon durch gehen! PLV könnte besser sein. Dennoch ein perfekter sipping Rum und auch sicher gut zur Zigarre geeignet.

Rumkalender 2025, relativ sprittig bei einem langen Abgang. Sehr angenehm in der Nase, das overproof tut dem Geschmack nicht gut.
Review by Oliver
Sehr schöner Rum aus Panama mit Haselnuss und Nougat. Erinnert an einen Bourbon. Perfekt für einen entspannten Abend!
Review by w00tAN
Toller Geruch, schöne Nussnoten, Frucht von Orange und Mandarine. Nougat und dunkle Schokolade. Im Mund dann dunkle Schokolade, Nüsse mit feiner Süße. Dann entwickelt sich eine schöne Würze und der Alkohol kommt durch. Im Abgang dann lang bis mittellang schöne Frucht und Schokolade. Sehr leckerer Sipper, leider etwas teuer. 11/24 gestern nochmal im Glas gehabt und ein paar Punkte nach oben korrigiert; wirklich sehr lecker.
Review by Timo Groeger
Today is Panama day ;-) Aber auch dieser ist leider wieder einen Tacken zu süß. Ansonsten haben wir hier vor allem Schokolade, Vanille und Kakao in der Nase. Am Gaumen ebenfalls , außerdem ist noch etwas Nougat erkennbar.
Review by SaibotZtar
Nase lecker mit viel gerösteten Nüssen und Schokolade . Am Gaumen wieder Nüsse uns Schokolade eher Dunkle Schokolade etwas bitter und Alkohol nicht optimal eingebunden. Alles in allem nicht schlecht aber für mich nichts wirklich besonderes oder spannendes.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,4:On the nose, roasted wood notes like burnt sugar, nuts, milk chocolate, nougat, slightly sweet, some vanilla, orange peel, mandarine, coconut dried apricots, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, metallic patina is out, molasses, new roasted notes with cocoa, butterscotch, maple, baking spices, winterly, buttery and raisins. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is slightly sweet with roasted wood notes like burnt sugar, maple, nougat, roasted nuts, syrupy, fruity with dried and citrus fruits(orange peel, lemon), marmelade like and toasted coconut.When the rum is oxidized, new wave of different roasted notes arise, like dark chocolate, cocoa, espresso and the molasses becomes a bit musty. 8,4:The finish is medium long, dry, with toasted oak, notes from the palate lingering on..
Review by Galli33
Very delicious and sweet(i think it’s sweetened) rum from Bellamy. Pleasant to drink. It‘s a rum practically for every day or as a dessert. Nose: Sweet notes of vanilla, nougat, dark chocolate, cocoa, hazelnut, dried fruits and a bite of orange. Mouth: Very delicious and sweet. With notes of nougat, vanilla, cocoa, maple, roasted nuts, italian espresso (liscio ☕️) and some small notes of the oak barrel. Finish: Is sweet (again) medium long with notes of cocoa, dark chocolate, espresso, roasted nuts, maple syrup and biscuits
