Alcoholes Del Istmo Plantation Single Cask 1992
Caramel, vanilla and old oak lead here, with dried apricot, raisin and a whisky-cask edge from its Teeling finish. It's a 27-year Panama pot still at 51% — soft, oily and complex, but several tasters note the alcohol never fully settles in. Sweeter than dry, as Panama tends to be, though most agree it stays in a pleasant range.
The community says- Rich caramel-oak depth
- Complex, balanced

How does Alcoholes Del Istmo Plantation Single Cask 1992 taste?
Aggregated from 44 community reviews.
Caramel-and-oak Panama with a whisky-cask twist Well-liked as a rich, balanced Panama sipper full of caramel, oak and vanilla. The recurring gripe: the 51% heat isn't perfectly integrated, leaving a little sharpness.

Dann ein ganz angenehmer Panama Rum von Plantation. Viel Karamell und Vanille in der Nase, etwas Eiche ist aber auch erkennbar. Am Gaumen ebenfalls eine leichte Süße. Wieder stechen Vanille und Karamell hervor.
Review by Jarek
Of the three Panama rums tasted today, this is the best. Still sweet (just Panama...), but still within a pleasant range.
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
Tasted at my favorite bar in Copenhagen. The nose is rather fruity with some depth of orange and wood, though not as much as one would expect with this age. In the notes I found lemony fruits, cinnamon and vanilla
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Reminds me blind of the Panama 1997 from Bellamy's Reserve. Bourbon whisky, vanilla, lots of caramel and dried fruit such as apricot and raisin, some cocoa and coconut... However, the alcohol is not ideally integrated both on the nose and in the taste, hence slight deductions. A slight sharpness and astringency lingers on the finish. This is the year I was born, so I had to try it!
Review by reina
Wooden, caramel, whiskey. From the nose to the taste and the finish. Complex, rich and and a great balanced flavour. Overall one of the best rums in my portfolio.
Review by Christian Rudt
Diese Abfüllung mit Finish im Teeling Whisky Fass macht Spaß. Komplex und ausgewogen da stört mich auch die Whisky-Nase als Nicht Whisky Trinker gar nicht so. Am Gaumen sehr rund mit etwas Zitrusfrucht. Gelungene Abfüllung.👍
Review by Thunderbird
Relatively restrained on the nose, light notes of caramel, old cask/oak. On the palate, the rum is oily and mild with aromas of cask, caramel and allspice, the same in the finish! Overall an easily accessible rum without any highlights
Review by Jonas Kofod
Super smooth and kind rum. In spite of above 50% alcohol. This is a shortcoming at the same time. To me it needs some more character to take it higher. Vanilla, func, …., just something.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Meine RumRatings Review von vor 6 Jahren: Der Rum ist in der Nase erstmal etwas scharf und benötigt ein paar Minuten. Dann kommen viele Fassnoten durch. Eiche, Rauch, etwas Vanille und mehr. Der Rum sollte unbedingt Zeit bekommen und erst einmal im Glas verweilen. An Gaumen wird klar das der Rum lange gelagert hat. Die tropischen 25 Jahre im Bourbon Fass bringen viele Holznoten mit. Der Rum ist wunderbar ölig und cremig. Es kommt Süße und eine schöne nussige Würze. Rauch und etwas Frucht bindet die einzelnen Komponenten und begleitet den holzig trockenen Abgang. Die 51,1% sind merkbar aber gut eingebunden. Der Abgang ist langanhaltend und mit intensiven Rauch, Nuss und pfeffrigen Eichennoten. Der Rum ist schön vollmundig und hat viele intensive Fassnoten welche er trocken darbietet. Hier bekommt man tatsächliche 27 Jahre für unter 100Euro. Erzählt das mal dem Whisky Trinker eures Vertrauens. Das Whisky Finish ist sehr dezent und für mich eher unnötig bei einem so alten Rum. Es wäre schön wenn Plantation es nicht mit den Mulit Fasslagerungen übertreibt.
Review by Johannes
Typical Panama, rather on the sweet side, but nice chocolate, coconut and cookie dough. Alcohol not perfectly integrated.
Review by DerAlexausHRO
Komplexer Rum, nicht zu süß. Für mich dominiert Holz, Karamell und Vanille. Bissl scharf, Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein. Insgesamt aber sehr guter Stoff :D
