Cave Guildive Secret Panama Rum 2006

One member calls it "banana split in flüssig" — liquid banana split — and that fruit-forward take runs through the reviews. Under the honey, caramel and vanilla sits real 11-year maturity, with oak that carries from nose to a long finish. At 60% it's punchy but the alcohol reads well integrated, and several tasters flag surprising fruit and a grilled-lime, eucalyptus twist on the back end.</snapshot> <review>The recurring verdict is a fruity, well-balanced Panama that punches above its column-still reputation — people call it their top Panama reference and mean it.</review> <review_short">Fruity, honeyed Panama with real oak depth</review_short> <pros>["Surprising fruit", "Well-integrated 60%", "Long oaky finish"]</pros> <cons>["Cask-strength heat", "Softer Panama style"]</cons> <seo_description_tag">Cave Guildive Panama 11-Year 2006, 60% column-still rum.

Banana split in flüssig, sehr Süffig! Im Abgang kommt eine mega geile Note von gegrillten Limetten, Eukalyptus Bonbons, Ananas und gegrillten Bananen. Für mich meine absolute top Panama Referenz! Sehr sehr lecker und ungewöhnlich aromatisch!

At the price tag this is a great rum. Very well balanced and I like the oak is there from nose to finish. The oak is especially strong in the long finish. Fruity and sweet with spices and some chokolate sprinkles on top. I like the spice finish.
