Po dลรญve pลedstavenรฉm Abuelo Aรฑejo, coลพ byl 5 let starรฝ rum z produkce firmy Varela Hermanos S.A. si pลedstavรญme o dvฤ tลรญdy vyzrรกlejลกรญ Abuelo 12y. Mezi nimi se v portfoliu znaฤky nachรกzรญ jeลกtฤ Abuelo 7y. Zraje v sudech z bรญlรฉho dubu a nevyrรกbรญ se z melasy, jako Aรฑejo, ale z panenskรฉ ลกลฅรกvy cukrovรฉ tลtiny. Nฤkterรฉ zahraniฤnรญ zdroje uvรกdฤjรญ, ลพe sudy, ve kterรฝch zraje, jsou po whisky a bourbonu.
Alkohol: 40 %
Pลฏvod: Panama
Aroma: Tak tohle je originรกlnรญ, vลฏnฤ je vรฝraznรก, s tรณny cedrovรฉ dรฝhy, do kterรฉ se balรญ doutnรญky, kลฏลพe, oลechy, tabรกk, rozinky, starรฉ dลevo a dokonce mi evokuje kostel, nฤco ve stylu starรฉho nรกbytku. (92 b)
Chuลฅ: Chuลฅ je pลรญjemnฤ naslรกdlรก, velmi lahodnรก, pลitom excelentnฤ jemnรก, i v รบstech jako bych cรญtil aroma kลฏลพe. Dochuลฅ je pลรญmo skvฤlรก, stรกle se mฤnรญcรญ, v zรกvฤru zemitรก. (94 b)
Shrnutรญ: Tak tohle je pro mฤ opravdovรฝ skvost a velkรฉ pลekvapenรญ z Panamy. Abuelo nenรญ ani nฤjak pลehnanฤ sladkรฝ, ani nepลฏsobรญ tak tฤลพkotonรกลพnฤ, jako Zapaca 23y, je to spรญลก jeho protipรณl. Je udivujรญcรญ, kolik zajรญmavรฝch vลฏnรญ a chutรญ se skrรฝvรก v tak jemnรฉm rumu.

Bottle: Normal bottle, nothing fancy 0,5/1
Colour: Dark amber
Aroma: Some vanilla. 1/2
Taste: Nice and smooth. Something fruity in there. Maybe too sweet for me. I don't recall much difference from 7yo 4/5
Aftertaste: There is something I don't like 1,5/2
With this rum and probably whole Abuelo collection I have problem - sometimes I really love this rum and sometimes I have to force myself to finishing the glass. I assume it depends on my mood and what I have eaten that day but still I never know what to think about these rums.

Jeden z tazsich kuskov, cize nepil by som to cely vecer.
V chuti drevnaty sladky s alkoholovim chvostom na zaver. Po nom sa objavi nejaky marcipan alebo nieco podobne tam objavujem.
Discovered this on a trip to Panama City. An inexpensive good sipper.

If you tasted the 7 year old one and drink this one you might think: Yup, it needed longer to sit in the barrel. Absolutly smooth and no burn, tastefull and not to sweet. Also the value you get for the price is downright criminal if you compare it to others in its league.

While itโs not a bad rum, the smell burns from alcohol and itโs wuite sweet. Personally I think there are better options for this price tag.

A very good and tasty rum, honest twelve-year aging has done its positive work.

My first experience with aged Panamanian rum. Very much enjoyed it with a big ice cube or as an old fashioned

My favorite rum. Came out on top in a blind tasting with friends against some highly rated and more expensive rums. I don't know where to find it near me. Got it in duty free coming home from Costa Rica

N- Not as zesty as the 7YO, also not as caramelize with more natural ripe fruit sweetness, which is better. Strawberry milkshake, creamy chocolate and sweet crushed nuts. Loud presents of oak with pounded clove. (20/25)
P- Pleasantly oak-y with clove and sweet spice at fore, get fruitier and sweeter overtime. (18/25)
F- Short, oak sphere, smooth with nice fruit sweetness but with tinge of sugary at tail. (18/25)
Balanced- Acceptable fruit sweetness that aren't cloying, uncomplicated and relax. Lack of width to gives more. (19/25)
