Abuelo Anejo

Okayish rum, very intense but surprisingly smooth. Preferably mixed tho!

Extremely cheap rum here (under 10 euro). For the price you get a sweetened, vanilla flavoured rum, not harsh, not complex. For me it makes a acceptable Cuba Libre with lot of lemon and Angostura Bitter, but it will still be sweet. Anyway good value for the little price.

Tenía buenas expectativas con este ron, pero me ha defraudado para tomarlo solo que es como me gusta, en nariz no destaca ningún aroma más allá del alcohol, en boca confirma lo mismo, sabor tenue, aroma debil y retrogusto poco amigable, en su favor he de decir que es suave y asequible en precio y para mojitos puede servir estupendamente.

You're not too bad, way better than I'd expected, but nothing special. It'll do fairly well up against Puerto Rican and Dominican rums, it brings the heat and drinks like an industrial rum.

A good value demerara rum for the price point.

This is a simple rum with it blends and flavour... Nothing special but nothing to mark it down on

I found this rum on sale and a quick check online gave me hope of a mixer. It was not to be, the strong medicinal odor and taste overwhelmed my ability to enjoy this even when mixed 2:1. Pale young sharp bite, I might try to cook with it.

Rhum correct pour boire seul, mais très bon pour le cocktails

An easy and decent choice for the price. Easy to drink. Smooth in all ways, Somehow “Grassy” and a little bit “watery” but still manage to warm you up in a good way. However it has a strong whiskey reference, therefore is a good suggestion if you like whiskey. Lacks of complexity but is a decent choise in the price range, especially if you find the standards in these category (like plantation original dark etc) too sweet.

I tried Anejo after having the Anejo 12 as I like to see what the range of rum tastes from a maker that sells a similar rum at different levels and if I can tell if the tailings are more present in the budget rum. This one is definitely a young rum though better than most young rums. The low price makes this a rum that beats shelf expectations.

Bottle: This is old school rum labeling, which I really like rather than overly crafted designs made to attract the eye and deceive the brain.
Color: You cannot see the rum due to the bottle being brown, but the rum is light yellow.
Bottle Smell: Young rum, a little harsh, light oak, something of the sweet smell fermented molasses.
Glass Smell: Opens up and smells better, little bit of sweetness.
Taste: Hard on the tongue, few oils, this continues to the throat. A good rum odor does linger in the nose. Better than most large label rums in its price range.

I enjoyed this rum and would drink it again. An good value for mixing or carrying in a flask on the go.

Its not great but drinkable. Plenty of others I would choose before it.
