Ron Abuelo Añejo XII Años (Three Angels)

Another exceptionally gourmand nose! Borderline candied vanilla if ever there was such a thing... aromas of plums and prunes are very present. Warm on the palate, with a slight bitterness at the start, followed by a strong presence of flambéed bananas. 3 anges, identical to the 2 oaks, but the barrels are taken from the very top, i.e. with a larger proportion of angels, so the rum is more concentrated.

Na přivonění je cítit kandované ovoce a karamel spolu s těkavostí alkoholu. Bohužel po ochutnání to rozbil cukr, přeslazenost přebíjí všechny ostatní chutě. V pozadí vanilka, dřevo

8,8:On the nose, the first impression we get are very attractive prunes with smoky bacon and creamy butterscotch. There are very tempting yellow bourbon fruits and charred wood with cream toffee, caramel, roasted nuts, perhaps nougat and dried, candied fruits. When aired a bit, mol gives us vegetal notes with floral touch, perfumed. There is another layer of charring the wood with chocolate, cocoa. We could find some vanilla, confectionery with tempting biscuits. The fruits are berries, perhaps bluberries. Very round and complex. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is sweet, thick, oil and delicious with dried figs, prunes, candied fruits and tropical fruits like banana, papaya. The wood is roasted, charred, a bit spicy, as there is very gourmet caramel, toffee, vanilla, caramelized nuts. We could notice both bourbon and sherry notes. The molasses is thick and vegetal, creamy, there are tobacco, flowery notes. As our tasting buds would be enjoying very juicy, melted fruit marmelade with smoky touch and bacon😉. Round and tasty, even if just a bit sweet. . 8,7:The finish is long and tasty, balanced, as most of palate notes linger for quite some time.... 😋👌

The taste is more intense in this Abuelo XII – the burnt oak barrel clearly shines through – vanilla, honey sweetness and delicious dried fruits. The aftertaste is long-lasting, spicy and smoky - with notes of cocoa beans. I appreciate the higher ABV which compliments the intense flavor more.

Definitely better than Two oaks. More woody, but again two oaks has 40% pf alcohol, Three angels 43%. As the profile is same, those voltages can make huge difference. The price of three angels is still too high though.

A surprising new addition to abuelo. Unusually deep and not too sweet. The extra burnt barrels contribute beautiful roasted aromas, plus dried plum, burnt caramel and dark chocolate. Very fair for 60€!

24 Days of Rum 2024 - Black Edition - Day 14 Erster Eindruck: vollmundig und doch frisch Nase: breites Spektrum von Trockenfrüchten bis Tabak und geröstetem Speck Gaumen: Fortsetzung des Eindrucks, jetzt mit Fass, Tabak und Gewürzen Abgang: mittellang, angenehm warm, Eiche, Tabak Gesamteindruck: schön komplex, interessante Entwicklung von der Nase über den Gaumen bis zum Abgang. Mir gefällt die Nase am besten, gut zum pur Sippen, sicher aber auch eine starke Zutat in Mixern. Ich mag den.

The nose is varying from woody to burnt and dried fruits or caramel. The color is dark - like old honey The taste is complex - from sweet, woody and caramel and fruits… Compared to two oaks is less woody, more fruity and more intense.

Ke konci až moc trpké a suché, jinak velmi příjemný rum.

Hier ein Rum aus dem Rum und Co Adventskalender. Dieser Abuelo im Geruch eher etwas holzig nach Fass. Im Geschmack kommen dann auch Aromen wie Vanille und Toffee zum Vorschein. Generell gar nicht mal schlecht

Vůně lehce po švestkách, ostřejší, trochu sud, lehce vanilka, lehce oslazeno…. Celkem zajímavé

Actually only bought for Rum Cola... Now I've also tried it neat. Lots of vanilla chocolate and woody notes, very sweet... but already palatable if it can be sweeter. Really tasty in rum cola.

Semi-sweet, lightly peaty. Nice profile, still infusion is bellow traditional ageing in my oppinion
