Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:

"A nice surprise with a lot of smoke on the nose and barely any smoke on the palate. The barrel is there from nose to finish. Pretty well balanced. The price is pretty high for such a young rum."

8.0/10 (141)

Top review from Stefan Persson:

"Got this 5cl sample in my second batch from Rum Ratings Tasting Club and participated in the virtual tasting yesterday. The Abuelo XII Two Oaks is a 12yo rum stored in two different types of oak barrels. First on traditional Tennessee whiskey / bourbon casks during 11 years, and then a final storage on deep-fried casks of new American white oak. It’s produced from both molasses and sugar cane juice by Varela Hermanos. The sugar content is 24 gpl, so it’s sweet but not extremely sweet."

Top review from Stefan Persson:

"Got a sample of this in my second batch from Rum Ratings Tasting Club and participated in the virtual tasting yesterday. The Abuelo XV Oloroso is 15 years old and is first matured in American oak casks to be finished in Oloroso Sherry casks. Overall it’s very sweet, natural or not, read somewhere that a hydrometer test gave 44 gpl. The finish is medium long. "

"#4928 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Wood, light roasted, fruits, sweet, round, light caramel, faint chocolate, raisin, light cherry. Palate Round, balanced, fresh, sweet, light caramel, light orange, light wood, light roasted, faint smoke, faint chocolate. Finish Medium to long, round, sweet, light cherry, faint chocolate, faint orange, light caramel, light wood. A pretty nice rum with natural sweetness to it."

7.9/10 (90)

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:

"This is one of the 3 releases of the XV and it's pretty good actually. The nose starts off with a lot of caramel, in a good way, then goes into candied fruits wit some oakiness to it. The palate continues with the fruits and some leather and spices. The Port cask is definitely there and I like it. The finish is medium to long, astringent with vanilla and sweetness to it. Price to quality is good. "

7.9/10 (59)

Top review from Stefan Persson:

"Got this sample in my second batch from Rum Ratings Tasting Club and participated in the virtual tasting yesterday. It’s produced from molasses in a multi column still whereafter it’s aged in Jack Daniel’s barrels using the Solera method. The oldest drops is said to be 30yo. Overall it’s very smooth but a little too sweet for me (hydrometer tests I’ve read indicates 27gpl of sugar), I should probably liked it even more with a little higher ABV which should balance the sweetness."

"Overly sweetened! Can not be called rum, as it has 35g/l added sugar."

Top review from Stefan Persson:

"I think it’s a quite mediocre rum relaying on sugar. It has definitely tastes similar to other Panama rums, but it’s weaker than the ones I like. Picture: From a blind test with Ian Burrell at Birka Cruises."

Top review from Rumpalumpa:

"I really like this Rum in Cocktails. It has a prominent somky/roasted smell and taste that is very typical of Panama Rum. Considering how cheap it is (I paid 18€), it's surprisingly good for sipping, too."

Top review from Timo Groeger:

"A little Abuelo tasting. Somehow I like this rum. A nice vanilla and caramel note here too. Slightly sweet, but completely ok. Not quite as good as the previous two, but still better than the classic average rum."

Top review from SaibotZtar :

"In der Nase kribbelt erstmal der Alkohol... dann kommt Karamell und etwas Schokolade. Etwas Cassis und Dürrpflaume .... Am Gaumen ist der Alkohol sehr brennend und nicht wirklich gut eingebunden. Schokolade und Karamell auch hier ... Frucht ist im Mund kaum etwas zu spüren... es dominieren schärfe , Holz und generell Bitternoten."
