Well-aged rum from Panama, independently bottled by Danish bottler 1423 for its Compañero range. Ought to be great for sipping as a postprandial tipple...
Orange chocolate, tomato stem earthiness and some charred oak warmth.
Cinnamon, rich caramel, dark chocolate and sugary coffee.
Brown butter, toffee apples, cacao bitterness.
The moment you take a long hard lingering smell of Compañero, it immediately transports you to a chocolate utopia, the aroma is that sublime. The chocolate experience continues in the taste as well as the smell, because drank neat your taste buds are treated to a ton of chocolate notes, making this rum simply delicious. And if all that isn’t enough for you, then the chocolate goodness continues long into the after taste as well. As for the alcohol burn, well that’s pretty much minimal. In Compañero you get a drink that glides down your throat with silky smoothness, making it very enjoyable, either as a sipping rum, or a long drink. Me personally, I prefer it mixed with Coca-Cola, because at 54% VOL, it’s a tad too potent for my liking. Which is a real shame, because had it been closer to 40% VOL, then I’m absolutely positive I’d be describing Compañero Panama as neigh on perfect. P.s If you want to try a chocolate rum that isn’t so potent as Compañero, then may I suggest Project #173 Chocolate Rum. It’s amazing
Just had this for my from my rum advent calendar. Had a very nice Tastes of chocolate orange. Will definitely be asking Santa for one of these. A nice end of the evening tipple.
Tastes like chocolate. Lovely
Great rum. Coffee , chocolate and a real punch to go with it .If anything too moorish
Wow! Delicious rum with a real nose of chocolate and even coffee. That 54% is warming!!!
