Legionář – The Czech-made Panama rum

Starorežná, or the Green Tree Distillery, prepared (imported a 5y.o. Panama rum, which they bottled and maybe blended, coloured and sweetened) a new cheap rum with 38 % strength, which refers back to the travel of the Czech Legionaries from Vladivostok through Panama back to Czechoslovakia.

Legionář is changing its name to Heffron, picture (c) 2019 Tomas Trochta in Rum a vše kolem něj

In Czechia, this rum cannot be purchased online (so far?), it is available in the supermarket chains – probably competing with Božkov Republica (also price-wise, slightly over CZK 200). In this price category, I prefer Skull Bay rum.
