El Ron del Artesano Panama Rum Peated-Cask-Finish
Peated-whisky fans are the real audience here — this Panama column-still rum spent time in a peated cask and it shows. Expect vanilla and oak up front, then a wave of smoke, black pepper and ginger that runs warm and spicy at 57.8%. One taster flat-out called it "less a rum than a whisky." Divisive by design: love peat and you'll grin, avoid it and this isn't your bottle.
The community says- Real peat smoke
- Spicy ginger kick
- Polarizing peat

I think this is one that you either like or not. The influence of the cask is very obvious but without dominating the rum overall. I think whisky lovers might like this rum actually because of the cask that was used. I like smoke/peat as long as its not overpowering the other flavours.

Tasted 26-05-2020 For my pallette this was certainly not one , although the presenter have me a journey through Germany and exploring anacestory. I do not drink peated whisky so this was never going to do well in tasting notes .. imagine Christmas pudding then bam the whiskey hits ...
Review by Harald
Farbe: Gold Geruch: Leicht und frisch nach Vanille, Karamell und Eiche. Geschmack: Im Mund würzig scharf mit Vanille und torfigem Whisky. Beim Schlucken ist der torfige Whisky ebenfalls deutlich. Würzig-scharf, pfeffrig und Ingwer mit Eiche. Abgang: Mittellang Trocken, Eiche, Pfeffrig, Ingwer Fazit: Weniger ein Rum als ein Whisky
Review by Johannes
I can't really do anything with the whisky finish. However, I can at least taste the quality and idea behind it.
Review by Michael Schillheim
Auf dem 11. GRF probiert. Mich hat er überzeugt. Unheimlich viel Kraft und Rauch. Eher etwas für Liebhaber von rauchigen Whiskys
