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.
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.... 😋👌
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.
