Reviewer's opinion

Opinions on the Malecon 1996 Rare Proof Small Batch Rum are varied but generally positive. Some find it the best of the Rare Proof series, praising its punchy flavors and woodiness, while others feel it is a bit too sweet and syrupy. A few reviewers noted that the alcohol is not very well integrated and the rum can be quite sharp, though still enjoyable. The rum's fruity notes are often overshadowed by strong vanilla and sweetness, with some tasting notes highlighting exotic candied fruit, caramel, pastry spices, and wood. Despite its sharpness, it is considered a good molasses rum, though some feel it could benefit from more fruitiness and less sweetness.
