I was running out of rums to try that are both readily available and priced sensibly. Fifteen months ago, I reviewed it's 12 year old brother that cost $29 US back then. I rated it as a 5 and it now costs $45 US. So this here younger brother has half of the added sugar as the 12 year old and is now priced at $30 US. This is 15 gpl versus 29 gpl, which makes this one semi-dry and the 12 year being almost enough to qualify as a sugar bomb.

I was hesitant to buy until I found out that it can either be made from cane juice or combined as molasses and cane juice for the fermentation process, depending upon the season. Well down here in south Louisiana, cane cutting time is in October after the rainy season has allowed the cane to grow. I don't know when the rainy season for Panama is, but I was hoping that they would be more specific in stating whether or not it is made from 100% cane juice. Lucky for me, I understand a fair amount of Spanish and noticed two slightly different explanations on the side of the gift box. So my rum is indeed made from "mieles de cana" (cane honey) with no mention of molasses, as noted in the Spanish explanation. After seven years of aging in white oak barrels, I do not notice any floral or grassy accents found in most rhum agricoles, nor do I detect any molasses. So the Spanish statement is true, but the English statement is shortened quite a bit.

When first poured into the snifter, the aroma tells that this is a good rum and it needs no time at all to breathe. The taste is quite smooth with a bare minimum of oakiness. There is no after burn at all. This is a very good rum, but just does not have enough of those additional flavors that one finds in rum rated 8 or higher. This one is a neat sipper! I seriously doubt that I will lower my rating after a few weeks in the bottle and I am very glad that I took a chance on it. After it's 12 year older brother, I had sworn off Ron Abuelo. Never say never!

After the 12y version, which I didn't like very much, I tried even cheaper 7y, however I will have a problem drinking the bottle. Somehow we don't get along with those Abuelles ...

Po 12y verzi, která mi moc nechutnala, jsem zkusil i ještě levnější 7y, nicméně budu mít co dělat láhev dopít. Nějak si s těmi Abuely nerozumíme...

Nasládlý rum za velmi příznivou cenu. Chutná širokému spektru (nerumaři, dámy), ale sladkost není přehnaná.

Nothing real fancy here, but for a lower priced rum it's hard to beat. Deeper color, nice aroma caney taste. An average sipper but tough to beat if you like just a splash of cola. Popular with friends who prefer mixed drinks.

Distilling its own production of crops is exciting and the heavy body of vanilla coffee taste is dominant. Nice but not my type

This is just simply plain rum, nothing to strong, nothing to harsh, no flavoring, and no real defining feature. It goes down smoothly, no strong aftertaste, can be sipped alone. Tried as a Cuba libre , would not recommend it, a bit to harsh as a mixer, the alcohol taste comes out.

Compare this to other 7 year olds and you will be amazed how smooth and complex it us. This is a quality distillery that can do much more in just 7 years than most. It would take Bacardi 70 years to produce a rum this good. I much prefer the two oak and Centuria but this youngster is quality rum.

Le rhum le plus sucré que j’ai bu. Arômes de vanilles et de banane. Excellent mais il faut aimer le style.
