Smells sweet like Ron Zacapa Solera 23 but only has half of the familiar taste from that rum. The dried fruit and raisiny flavors are the same but the finish is totally different and has a noticeable dryer tobacco/leather/scotch flavor. I had to sip it a few times b4 I could figure it out when I suddenly yelled out loud "Scotch"!
Overall it honestly tastes like a mix of sweetened rum and scotch. If you like both spirits then you may just love this. 6/10 because it doesn't taste like rum but is unique. Update: I've just tried Appleton 12 year rare blend and it has some similar flavor to this, apparently this scotch-y taste can be found in other rums as well. Update 2: obviously upon writing this review I was unfamiliar with funky Jamaica/Guyana style rums that give the flavor of what I thought then to be reminiscent of scotch. I only knew that this tastes like Zacapa but different on the finish. I remember it being quite sugared tho and will have to revisit at some point and might actually like it this time now that my palette has had more experience.

molasses. sweet.
i smell chocolate, pear and some wood tones.
i taste dried fruit, pepper, oak, dark chocolate.
4/10 - add 5 points to get the score if you like sweet rums!
the abuelo 12 ist a good sipper for a day to day rum. i thin i little less sweet than the diploamtico. lighter fruit notes and definitley more interesting. still a sweet rum.

Na 12-ti lety rum výborná chuť. Sušší, ale chuťové vyrovnaný rum. Stojí za ty peníze.

Not as sweet as some others, but very smooth. I was fortunate enough to have had this in a nice tequila bar. I didn't get a chance to fully delve into the complexities, but it seemed like a good, straight Rum and what I'd describe simply as refined.

One of my favorite rums thus far. Wonderful oaky finish with a bit of molasses.

Vollmundiger Rum, mit angenehmen Vanille-, Karamell- und leichten Schokoladennoten, gemischt mit dem Geschmack nach exotischen Zitrusfrüchten. Für seine “Jugend“ sehr ausgewogen und vollmundig. Pur, auf Eis oder mit Coke, er schmeckt immer, ist für letzteres aber echt zu schade, dafür sollte man den jüngeten Bruder heran ziehen.

Wow, this rum smells like it will burn, and it does. Strong smell of tabaco, which I don't like in a rum. I seriously think I will use this in mixed drinks to finish this bottle.

This rum is a slap and then a burn. The most I ever paid for a bottle and my biggest disappointment...

It was not bad, but it is not my favorite. Something is missing in the taste.

This rum has quite high reviews, which too my opinion has to do with the price, which is attractive. However, taken the price into consideration, there are better rums available. Would not buy it again, although the rum is certainly not bad.
