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.

Smell: Alcohol, dried fruit and chocolate. The sharp alcohol sort of dampens after a few minutes in the glass. Taste: Full bodied, soft taste with a bit of tanin but good combined with a bit of sweetness. It also seems like there is a pinch of salt in it. Is only inhances the taste. Overall a very pleasant soft rum. Not too soft - just enough. Very easy to sip. It is a keeper!

Tried this rum at first in a tasting collection. It has a quite strong smell and first sip. Some wood flavor at first comes with a light burn then followed with some caramel sweetness.
This is my wifeβs favorite rum and ayer go to night cap. By the way, it pairs great with a good steak.

I first tried this rum a couple years back and i never really got on with this rum. At times I enjoyed it then at times I didn't. Will need to give it another go and hopefully change my review.
I like this rum neat or mixed on a drink. It is dry and not overly sweet. At its price point a great started rum. Especially if you buy it in Panama City.

I finally got around to buying a bottle of this highly rated rum from Panama. The nose is of leather and wood. On the tongue, it is vanilla and caramel. Then it is followed by a nasty bitter burn at the back of my throat. After waiting a few hours and trying again, the nasty after burn was replaced by the taste of shoe leather. The wooden planks of the barrel are held together by leather, which is where this taste comes from. However, this aftertaste is so undesirable that I recommend a slogan for this distiller, "Abuelo...for the masochist lurking within all of us". Sorry, but I can only rate it as a 5 and after not liking their Anejo, I will not buy any more Abuelo. It is a decent rum, but just not for me.
You have all heard of funky Jamaican rums and my 12-year Appleton Estate Reserve Blend had a love/hate relationship with me because of the unique funk. I thought that funky rums were unique to Jamaica until now. This one is a funky Panamanian! If that floats your boat, then go for it.
And finally after a few more tastings, this one was aged in port wine casks. Personally, I love port wines such as Dow's Tawny Port, but not mixed with my rum. Sorry, but the combination of these two polar opposites comes off to this drinker as funky Panamanian. I have also had not much luck with other rums aged in sherry or port casks such as Papa's Pilar Dark. Knowing this tidbit will save me lots from buying rums that are highly rated by drinkers who like the fortified wine barrels for aging.
