The smell is beautiful, but the taste lags behind. It leaves you a little disappointed after drinking it. Still, it looks and tastes more aged for how young it is. The price is very low, making this a great contender for best value.

Un rom dulce, daca ai chef de un desert isi face treaba . pur si simplu o bomboana spirtoasa .
La inceput am crezut ca i rau , dar dupa ce a respirat putin m a convins ca e un rom decent ; si m am convins inca o data ca nu ai cum sa judeci un rom dupa o seara , trebuie neaparat sa l incerci macar de 2 ori .
am vorbit prea mult pentru cat poate ) . Titlul era suficient )

There is a good versatile Panama for a bargain price if I ever saw one. I can even sip this one neat, it is not so refined as its older siblings, but still has pleasant body, pronounced tobacco and white oak scent and taste, the aftertaste is ok. It overall reminds me of Havana Club Especial, but this Abuelo is better, with much nicer body and overall feeling. There is added sugar, some 20g/l, maybe a bit more, for this amount of money I can live with that. Makes very nice rum and coke.

I didn't expect much from the rum in the price of 16 EUR (Czech Republic), but I was even more pleasantly surprised. For that price, it's destined to be a good mixer, but I think you can drink well as neat.
The color is rather lighter. After opening, you can smell caramel, a little wood and also a light smoke. The taste is again smelling of caramel, a little vanilla and a slight hint of citrus. The finish is slightly woody and has a slight smoky touch.
It is a 5 years' old Spanish type rum made from molasses. For its years, rum is quite soft and tasty. It's not that full (it's rather lighter/thinned), but it doesn't scratch your throat and palate at all. Definitely an excellent price-performance ratio. I will definitely reach for this rather than e.g. Captain Morgan.
My overall rating: 6/10
Hint of toffee, molasses & honey. Great for Cuba's

Very easy to drink and blend with clasic cocktails. Good value for money in Latin America.

Ron Abuelo Anejo is a high-quality Panamanian spirit that, to my taste, represents a good starting point for a person acquiring an interest in rum. This iteration hints at rums in the upper echelon, and its humble price point, I think that's the best you can expect. The similarities to the Abuelo 7 Year are tangible, but not sufficient to stand on their own. It mixes best in drinks that want the rum to be "seen but not heard". Put this rum alongside it's older brother, and you have an excellent educational experience.
