I had the opportunity to taste it in several forms before writing this tasting note and I really enjoy it. It’s a rum that has a very beautiful, light and accessible expression.
The Double Matur Panama Old Ron 10 Years has some nice, distinct differences with the 9 Years Old, which makes tasting these two rums together a wonderful experience.
This is a very delicious rum
If you are a fan of sweet and gourmand rum, this is a rum that will allow you to appreciate the lightness of a good rum with perhaps less add sugar while keeping the pleasure of the delicacy that Hispanic-style rums can have.
