All great stories have an inspirational beginning, the same as Añejo has been for Ron Abuelo. It’s our youngest rum, both in age and spirit. Añejo is a fun and enjoyable first impression to our Panamanian rum making tradition. Where all the great stories begin.

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

You can taste à lot of sweet and some note of tobaco at the same. Very nice straight and suitable for mixing.

Smells faintly of molasses. Mild and toasty flavor, with a bittersweet dark-chocolate flavor that develops as it breathes. Mixes great with coconut water. Can find it most places for $20 at most, though I happily pay $13 a bottle. Can't complain too much for $13.

On the nose this rum has so much potential. It's a little harsh, but as you let it breathe it softens up considerably. Initial fruity notes become sweet and sugary. Let this one get some air, you will appreciate it more. On the tongue it's still a young rum, but tasty, and oddly, seems appropriate for a Panamanian rum. It's not sweet tasting, and a little too much alcohol for an everyday sipper; I suspect this would mix nicely. (I've only had it neat, and a few at that :) ) Not a bad rum at all, I'll happily drink it. But I tend to judge my rums by how they taste on their own, not mixed. And for that, this gets a 6.
I am an exclusive cheap rum drinker. I typically spend between $15 to$ 25. So when I found this rum for $15 and saw the reviews (rating this rum at 6.5) I thought this would be a decent rum. However, the initial taste and finish is terrible. It's not full and the favor is off. Major improvement is needed.

Bude rozhodně luxusní v drinku, ale takhle samostatně je to silný ostrý hřejivý rum. Dlouhý propolis ale v puse pak zanechá sladkost. Nicméně nástup je neukázněný, nevyzrálý. V poměru ceny a kvality by dostal 8 bodu. Pokud mám hodnotit jen kvalitu, hezkých 7.

As I have said before, big fan of RA's stuff, but this one does not pass the test. I am hoping I just got a bad bottle or something. Got several bottles on a closeout deal and after trying one, just not good. The smell of heavy alcohol is strong and the flavor is grainy and bitter. Tried mixing, but didn't work.
Love the technique. Love the flavor. Old school. Makes me want to go to Panama.

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.
