Abuelo Gran Reserva 12-Year

this is the best rum ever for me!! sweet with vanilla and more....the best of abuelo rums too ...5 stars

Placut, aromat cu note de fructe si un pic de vanilie. Bine pozitionat in gama de pret.

For the cost, I enjoy this rum more than any of comparable price!

This rum is decent but no more. The nose , for me, is a bit harsh . The taste is very sweet. I don't like really sweet rums
This is too sweet in my opinion

Putin dulceag, cu arome de vanilie, miros de butoi de bourbon si fructe exotice. Recomand cu incredere.

You might like to drink this after dinner, if you don't fancy amaretto or baileys. It's sweet but in the sticky sense. The thing that I don't like about it is that all the flavours you get with your first sip, are gone within seconds. One-dimensional and overly sweet, but I can see how it also can be an instant hit for some people.

It reminds me Diplomatico. Very nice rum, sweet, chocolade, spices, smooth.... long aftertaste.

Rum is sweet and go down smoothly. The price is also very good

Für den Preis auf jeden Fall sehr sehr gut, für mich einer der besten in dieser Preisklasse. Der Rum ist recht Mild, schmeckt nach etwas Holz und Tabak, Karamell und Vanille. Vor allem im Nachhall leicht zitronig.

El mejor ron de Panamá que bueno ya está en mexico

Picked up a bottle of this on a camping trip through southern Utah, and was very pleased with the selection. Like many Central American rums, to me, this one had a light mouthfeel, notes of tropical fruits and citrus, and a pleasant slightly spiced aroma. The oak notes were prominent, but enjoyable. Would definitely buy this again.

Bought it because of the ratings here. What a nice rum, especially if you consider it's price. Only 28 euros here on the internet. 39 euros at local stores. I agree with most, it's sweet. And, altough a lot don't like the added sugar, I really do! Together with the alcohol bite and nice aftertaste worth every penny!!! Will buy another one,,an easy 8!!

Edit april 7 2017::: just bought another one and had the exact same experience!
Don't hasitate,,,, go out and buy one!!!

Well-balanced, with tastes of caramel and banana, then vanilla and oak.

For a higher end rum It was a bit disappointing, starts out on the nose and mouth great then just dies off at the finish. The best part of rum is the aftertaste after YOU swallow. This one leaves you wondering, "what the heck did I just drink"? Not bad and by far better than the average run of the mill rum but to be honest it is best when served with coke which is sort of a waste in my opinion.

This rum rocks!! I enjoyed this one with a nice cigar aged to
Perfection and lots of caramel flavors and oak notes and vanilla.

An sich ein guter Rum aber mir persönlich eine Spur zu sprittig! Muss etwas länger atmen bevor seine Geschmacksvielfalt nicht mehr vom Alkohol überdeckt wird

I can drink it straight. Its good enough for that. But I like it better with cola.

Buen producto final. Su color y cuerpo muestran real añejamiento. Su sabor es suave con tonos a madera y vainilla.

Sowohl in der Nase als auch im Mund sehr gut, smooth.

Terriblement équilibré et avec un rapport qualité/prix difficile à battre. Note de cigare. Un équilibre entre le gras d'un barcelo impérial et le sucré d'un dos maderas 5+5 mais sans être aussi extrême que ces deux derniers. J'aime beaucoup cette maison dont toute la gamme de rhum est excellent sauf peut-être le centuria qui est trop cher et trop sucré.

Sugar: 30 gpl. This is a good rum, but it is not in the same league as the Centuria, nor would I expect it to be. It's missing the smoothness and complex flavors found in the Centuria, but at a fraction of the price you do get some of the flavors found in the Big Brother vintage. I tasted some fruit perhaps prunes or apricots, a heavy dose of caramel, vanilla, and oak, making it a good sipper at a great price. The sweetness found in the 12 year old makes it a bit too sweet to be a mixing rum for me making it a sipping rum. At $33 USD per bottle this is fantastic value.

A verry good Rum! Ilike it verry much! Also the price for this good Rum is ok!

I thought the Abuelo Centuria was a little pricey, but this surprised me at only $36.99 (Beltramo's 2015 price). Tastes more like sugar cane than molasses; also includes brown sugar, tobacco, toffee, allspice, cinnamon, oak, bourbon, and vanilla. A surprisingly good rum; especially for the price!

But it's a really good rum!
Ron Abuelo Gran Reserva is made ​​from molasses - but with little added sugar cane juice . And it is perhaps this that has helped to lift the Gran Reserva to a higher level !

The aroma have lots of fruity sweetness, yet with good balance with clear hints of caramel and cherry - and a little coconut ! The flavor is moderately intense with great sweetness! This will return the candy and the cherries from the aroma , along with exotic fruits !
