Abuelo Reserva Superior 7-Year

This is a solid rum. Not sweet or over flavoured but it gives a smooth nose and taste. At the end it gets a bit tang just to become more unique!

This was the bottle that started my rum addiction years ago. When i had to rate it back then it would get an 10/10 but over the years there where a lot of even better rums to come. I fell in love with panama rums... this is still my all day rum, nice sweetness, good body and a unbeatable price for what you get. Will ever offer the abuelo 7 to people they are sceptical to rum;)

Too pricey for its quality. Standar, drinkable, but not great.

A middle-of-the-road type rum. I think a lot of people would like it's taste...

This rum is one I called the better standard. Nice well-ballanced aroma and taste. Liquiry aroma followed by rich flavour starting with sweety taste that quickly vanished. Nice performance/price ratio.

Oak, caramel and vanilla on the nose with a light column still rum. Tastes of a young rum but with a balanced flavour. Easily sipped but makes a delicious rum and coke. The finish has a long and lightly spiced flavour. I am now looking for older Abuelo's.

Very light and smooth. The vanilla is prominent and pleasant. I recommend on ice with a squeeze of lime.

A little bit pungent in the nose, some orange, cardamom, cinnamon, brown sugar, nuts and apricot. Very nice.
Taste not as good as the nose, however, not bad. Somehow a bit watery, spicy oak with ripe fruits and some leather. Ends dry with a finish full with herbs (wood?). Good, but no masterpiece, taste not long and balanced enough.

I really wanted to not like this, and be all righteous about ‘super-premium’ rums, and how ridiculous it is paying that sort of price for booze, but Jesus H. Christ this was amazing.

N- Drifts of leafy and dry straw notes before the caramelized sweet fruit with sour plum and clove. Juicy citrus-y lemon underlay at the tail. (19/25)

P- Oxidized coffee with dried fruits, Christmas pudding, dried fig and clove from the oak. (19/25)

F- Short, caramel, rounded with no burn, creamy sweet patisserie. (18/25)

Balanced:- Is sweet but with identifiable fruits and presents of oak for the characters (19/25)

Weighted Rate:- 75pt
