Abuelo XV Napoleon Cognac Cask Finish

We definitely loved this taster! Super smooth, great aroma... I will look for this to keep as a sipper

I really like clasic 12y abuelo so I was curious about this one. I have to say I expect more but dont take me wrong this is a very good rum. There is just to much cognac aroma to my taste. Rum is very smooth and you can feel a lot of fruit in taste and smell.

Velmi zajímavý rum, umístěný jako vrchol kalendáře 2019. Pro mě osobně asi až čtyřka za Chamarelem, Pusserem a Cihuatanem.
Vůně po vínu a kvašeném ovoci, chuť jemná, olejnatá, po ořeších.

Ron Abuelo is a brand that many people have divided opinions towards. I have never tried one of them before, but I wanted to give one of the cask finishes a go.

Nose: Ripe fruit, raisins and cocoa with a bit of oak peaking through
Taste: Oak, ripe fruit, caramel, vanilla, peppercorn and a long and somewhat suprising dry finish with cognac notes
Overall: I am always somewhat reluctant to taste these "cask finishes" that have become more and more popular, because they seldom do anything to impact the taste. With that said you really get a cognac feel in this rum, which helps the complexity quite a lot. I was affraid that this rum would be to sweet, but that was certainly not the case. A great, but a bit to expensive, rum.

The box looks solid and gloomy. “Nobleness”, a barrel, heather, vanilla, a confectionery aroma spreads from a glass and alcohol breaks through. The taste is multi-layered: first sweet, then burning and bitterness, again sweetness, oilyness, moderate astringency and again burning makes you swallow faster. Also apricot and sourness are felt. This rum is appropriate to dilute slightly with water and the palette of impressions will become even greater. Long aftertaste. Citrus fruits on the table will be very handy, kumquat is perfect. Inebriation brings a minor mood. But in the morning you will not feel the previous load.

Es un licor solo para conocedores y tiene una manera específica para ser disfrutado, hay que dejarlo reposar para verdaderamente disfrutar de todos sus matices de sabor!

This is probably my least favourite of the three Abuelo XV expressions. That's not to say it's bad, far from it. I'd happily take it any time. But given the choice, I think I'd rather have one of the others. Maybe because it's the least sweet one. I got cognac on the nose, and the flavour is still great. Recommended.

Altid en fornøjelse at kikke ind til Rombo. Man kommer altid derfra med god rom

This rhum has a very attractive nose and a great cognac taste.
Maybe in the same style as the Plantation XO 20th anniversary but moe straight to the cognac point.
Very warm kiss on the whole. A good daily pleasure
