Description

Malecon Selection 1981

Although Malecon is known for its Cuban style of rum, it actually originates from Panama. This rum is made in collaboration with Varela Hermanos Bodegas de America SA. Malecon offers a wide range of rums, all based on molasses, with different levels and variations in their range. Varela Hermanos is based in Pesé, a town in south-central Panama. In 1908, Don José Varela Blanco founded the first sugar factory in the area, and in 1936, rum production began, resulting in high-quality rums ever since. Malecon is known for being slightly drier than its sister rum Malteco, but it offers greater complexity. There are three main categories: 'Rum-Reservas', 'Rum Rare Proof' and 'Rum Seleccion Esplendida'. The Reserva range consists of aged rums ranging from 10 to 25 years. Rare Proof rums are bottled at cask strength, which varies depending on the aging time and strength when the rum was put into cask. This range includes 13-year, 17-year and 20-year variants as well as a range of vintage Rare Proof rums, first bottled in 2021 with the 2014 vintage. Seleccion Esplendida consists of vintage rums from specially selected vintages, carefully selected by Marco Savio, and offers unique taste experiences. Malecon also produces the sweeter Licor de Ron with an alcohol content of 35%, which is extremely popular due to its rich complexity and sweetness.
