Abuelo Gran Reserva 12-Year

Smooth on the front end with hints of chocolate on the back.

No es el tipo de ron que me gusta. Olor de madera, muy poderoso. Color de un añejo potente. El sabor.: presencia de roble muy fuerte sin poder sacar ningun otro sabor. Parece que lo han rellenado a un barril podrido. A mi no me convence.

Aged in Bourbon cask.
Taste of:
Caramel, vanilla, bourbon cask, smoke...
-
Particular, sophisticated, sweet and rich flavor.
Top Rum 10/10

After my initial introduction to the fabulous 7-years old Abuelo some years ago, the time had come for me to get to know its 12-years old brother, my expectations being really high....but the awakening was rather rude! Although it's older, it's even sweeter, and if in the case of the 7-years old the balance between dryness-sweetness is succeeded in an exemplary manner, here in our case we are talking about an intense sugary palate, a feature that covers nearly everything else. Yes, it is a pleasant rum after all, but I wouldn't prefer my rum to be as sweet as a birthday cake!

Smooth taste and no harsh taste. Good on ice or with water an some soda

This is an excellent rum to start with, or to start a tasting session. The only complaint i might have is it's maybe a bit too sweet.

Es un ron clásico, muy agradable en color, nariz y boca. Para tomarlo puro y dejarlo en la copa por algún tiempo para que suelte lo mejor de sí. Fue una agradable sorpresa panameña.

Not strong-flavorful sure solera no 12 years as Diplomatico Single Vintage which is thich and strong. But has interesting flavour profile. Its older brothers must be really fine.

Really nice balance between strong alcohol, taste and good finish feeling, love it.

sweet rum with balanced flavor litle bit to sharp i prefer more aged rums
