A refined and elegant rum, inspired by true character. After 12 years of aging in selected barrels, it boasts luxurious and exceptional. Its well-rounded flavours are only achieved by time and artistry. Drink it by itself, paired with dark chocolate or along with mature tobacco cigars. Character behind every sip.

Abuelo Anejo gran reserva rum 12 år
Score: 7
dejlig duft, god smag men bliver detsvære til tør af fad.
(2022 - 7,0 - duft: dufter ikke af meget smag: god sødme, tobak, karamel, vanilje, bliver tør mod enden)
Decent rum. Nothing in taste makes this rum special and outstanding to me.

Very smooth I would say surprisingly smooth. It has very unique smell based on vanilla. Abuelo 12y is definitely a great deal. Highly recommended. Please try.

Classic spanish style, sweetish side, but also stron alko nose and first burn. I'd say similar to the Ron Cristobal Santa Maria. Should be easy sipper, but actually the first burn ans nose makes it not very easy.

For the money, a great rum. Everyone who tried it at the picnic liked it. It came with a cigar along with the good food.

Good balanced, not to sweet, tropical fruit, barrel, good and long aftertaste
I like this one. Kind of good price vs taste combo.
Not in my hot tub tonight but....
Nice smelling off the start, definitely has an alcohol kick! Sharp in the mouth, vanilla, caramel, not too sticky. Very pleasant aftertaste. Very easy to drink too much of this!

Though a bit sweet for my palate, really nice in every way. The only reason I wouldn't take four bottles of this instead of one bottle of Centuria is so I can trade the Centuria for, say, a bottle of Opthimus 18, one of Mount Gay XO, and a Depaz Blue Cane to round out the price bracket.
Value alone, it's a no-brainer at $32ish. It really gets better as it airs out in the bottle or decanting. Dark berries, cherries, apricot, some buttery/salted toffee, coffee. Initial sweetness fading towards the finish with the tiniest hint of leather and tobacco bringing up the rear; really nice medium body texture. If you dislike oak/wood notes to your rum, they're almost completely missing here. There's a delicious cognac note here, too.
If you find yourself unimpressed with the adulterated sweetness of most rums but don't fancy the drier examples like Appleton 12, Brugal 1888, this is a center-line rum you just might come to love. An critical rating of 7 but a cumulative rating of 8 given the great value. A staple.
