Abuelo 12 Años <12yr 40%

"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."

"A very sweet candidate, but a tasty one. Typical Panamanian roasted/smoky nose and flavor. I'm a big fan of this style that comes through very nicely here. It's also really affordable at around 25€. Would be great to try it with less sugar though"

"Für mich leider viel zu süß. Aber ein spannendes Destillat. Würde mir wünschen den mal ohne dosage zu probieren. Und vor allem mit ein paar mehr umdrehungen. 37,5 ist viel zu schwach. Von daher gibs für den keine Kaufempfehlung von mir"

"A key figure in Hispanic rums, Abuelo offers here a smooth, inexpensive rum with a sweet, vanilla, caramelized, slightly roasted nose of tobacco and dried fruit, with a hint of exotic fruit. A very comfortable nose for beginners. The attack on the palate is almost liquorish, with notes of sherry, chocolate, caramel, dried fruit, nuts, sweet spices and smoky oak. It's like sipping a sweet. The finish is syrupy, with sugar, chocolate, spices, wood and smoke. It's not a revolutionary rum, but it has the merit of being drinkable and of offering a few flavors that other rons don't have."

"It's ok for what it costs, but i prefer to spend more to get something better. Sweet, molasses, caramel. Also a tiny bit of a bitter twist in the finish."

"Sweet at the beginning but then a just a little bit bitter at the end. Taste of raisins and prunes predominantly with hints of vanilla and caramrl/nougat. In the nose you can smell raisins in rum / prunes and wood as well. It is very simillar to Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva however, with a nuances of different tones in nose and taste. Finish is medium to long in time of first tasting. Retaste: Last drops from the bottle, it is an ok rum but something that I would not be seeking to get more in the future."
