It should be an "improved" version of the classic 12, only this one was aged in two types of barrels. Firstly in Jack Daniel's bourbon barrels and then in oak barrels that have been fired before. The smoky notes are quite noticeable in the rum.

Bottle: Classic Abulelo shape in a brown shade. Wooden cap with cork.

Colour: Dark amber

Nose: Quite strong and sweet. The main ingredients are fruit, vanilla, wood and smoke.

Flavour: Sweet and sour, juicy but mild. Quite strong citrus, tropical fruits, vanilla and some woody notes, when the taste goes slightly to whisky (to dryness).

Finish: Medium-long.

Conclusion: This is a good and not over-sweetened rum from Abuelo. However, I'm not sure if it's better than the classic 12, which I probably liked a bit more.

Overall rating: 7.5 out of 10

I got a sample from RR tasting club and attended a charming meeting with presentation of Abuelo rums.

The aroma is not too intense, quite sour with some smoke, and oak. There are some fresh Agricole notes, together with humid wood.

First sip strikes with overwhelming sweetness of a rich sugar syrup. Many fruits can be distinguished: apricot, grapes, raisins, figs and apples, together with almonds and coconut. Then the bitterness and take of the barrel appears but it is hugely attenuated by continued caramel sweetness. Smoky notes come at the end, a nice alternative to the wooling sweetness.

The taste doesn't last for long, on the other hand almost no alcohol can be sensed. The overall experience is poor, it is just a thick sweet syrup.

It is surprising that the rum is said to be unadulterated and yet tastes like a true sugar bomb.

I got this as part of the rum ratings tasting club. It has lots of caramel and lots of oak in it, with a hint of other spice. A nice finish as well, without too much burn.

The bourbon barrel is quite noticeable and works wonderfully as the flavors come to the fore

The smell is inviting you to take a sip: vanilla, fruit and a little bit of wood are luring you in. The taste starts of quite spicy and not so complex. Then the burn, whereafter it breaks down in to a nice variety of flavours. It flows nicely into sweetness consisting of vanilla, caramel and a hint of fruit. The aftertaste lingers nice and long, mainly because of the smokiness of it.
It was too sweet for my liking at the first tasting but the second time around a enjoyed it way more. Its halfway between a Centenario 20 and a Foursquare Sagacity in that respect. Enjoy!

Wouw you can taste deep deep wood in this one. Great nose and taste with lots of wood and ash. The sweetness is there, but well balanced. Well done Abuelo.

I do like Panamanian rum! This one is exquisite. Tons of smooth flavor. Oak, coffee, smoke. Scotch Whisky fans will love this. Hint of sweetness. Balanced and beautifully thick. Great finish. More please!
