Abuelo Gran Reserva 12-Year

very good stuff. The nose isn't that great to be honest and i has this 'alcohol' smell, if you know what i mean. but then I sipped it and it almost blew my mind. after the decent nose i really wasn't expecting such a sweet and complex taste with a smooth and longholding ending.

One of my go-to rums for sipping straight or on the rocks.

Well, nothings sticks out, a very drinkable rum, medium sweetness, lot of taste - quite similar in taste to El Dorado 15 years.

This is a sweet rum that will have you checking your receipt to see if you really paid that little for such a nice rum. It is not complex but at this price you can be biased. This drink left me wanting to buy the Abuelo Centuria as this is meant to be the top rum in the Abuelo brand. I just need a reason to justify myself this purchase.

In the nose, abuelo is fruity & chocolate flavour is in.

In the mouth, we have a really good storm of flavour. Very good balanced between the woody, chocolate, leather and almond flavour.

I enjoyed this with my father in law. It was good.

erg lekker sterk van smaak maar zeker goed gerijpt.

Smooth and very GOOD smell!!!! The taste is not really what I expected, but still liked it....

This is an ok rum, like the sweet smell of it. But for me the taste of it did have to much oak tones and remind me more of whiskey.
All though I like the smoothiness and the sweet notes. But not the oak.

Incredibly smooth. Can smell the molasses with a woodsy tone to it. Perfect after dinner with family or friends
