Harsh one! Does bite mouth more than I would like. It's sweet, but kinda unbalanced. Vanilla, flowers, maybe chocolate. Overall it's OK

I can't believe is a 7 years rum, it's better of other 12 years. Strong and soft, smell so nice.

Ten sud burbónu, ve kterých abuelo zraje, jde zbytečně moc cítit.

Panamský rum s peknou tmavou fľašou s pravým korkom, vôňa trochu surová, dubová, pripomína whisky. Chuť to len potvrdila, dominuje koža, dub a propolis. Rum je dosť ostrý, štipľavý, až trochu tŕpne jazyk. Zaujímavé, že pri prvom poháriku mi znel veľmi sucho, s každým ďalším akoby postupne sladol. Toto som pri iných druhoch zatiaľ nezaznamenal. Až postupom času objavujem pôvodne zastreté tóny. Vo výsledku veľmi zaujímavý drink! K lepšiemu zážitku som si najskôr dopomáhal kúskom čokolády, neskôr už nebolo treba. Pôvodný rating 5 som už musel dvakrát prehodnotiť, časom si ma získava. Teším sa na 12Y súrodenca!

Jemný panamský rum s pěknou tmavou barvou.
Vůně dubová, po whisky. Chuť to jen potvrdila, dominuje kůže, dub a propolis.
Lehounce sladký.

It’s so good as Diplomatico Gran Reserve. Very similar

Got this one in a 50ml (plastic) bottle and to be honest, that is more than enough of this rum to know this is not my style. Very sweet, almost sickly sweet, nose dominated by vanilla. A little floral as well and, as with many rums from Panama, there is the sweet scent of rotting wood (in a good way actually).
On the palate it is not as sweet as the scent seems to promise but it is very sweet, even more so than the 15gpl would let you expect. Still vanilla mostly, a rather present alcohol and the floral and rotten wood notes are here as well. Not uninteresting but too sweetened for me to enjoy and not enough complexity to balance that out. Super short finish and the light burn in the end makes me suspicious about some really young rum in this bottle.

Nice, tasty rum with beautiful aromatic nose super reminiscent of Diplomatico with a whif of alcohol.
Tastewise its nice and aromatic with woody undertone and is a bit alcoholic, not syrupy at all.
As i said in title in its price range it has no competition, absolutely worth trying.

Rum with a very pleasant taste, slightly sweet. An incentive to continue testing Abuelo.

The best buy from Ron Abuelo

out of 10
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!
