This is another of the good low cost rums out there and as time has progressed my score has gone up for this rum. In my mind very well balanced especially if you consider the price tag on it. This one I would also consider a rum for both beginners as well as those more picky in rums.

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.

A very sweet candidate, but a tasty one. Typical Panamanian roasted/smoky nose and flavor. Also really affordable at around 25€.

Solider Panamarum ohne großen Überraschungen. Wenn er lange genug im Glas ist, bekommt man zusätzlich zur Rosine, Kakao und braunem Zucker, auch eine ordentliche Ladung Röst-/Raucharomen ab (Tabak, Kaffee). Im Mund etwas süß, vor allem aber würzig, röstig und rauchig. Preis-Leistung insgesamt gut!

Für mich leider viel zu süß. Aber ein spannendes Destillat. Würde mir wünschen den mal ohne dosage zu probieren

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.

Cela faisait longtemps que je ne m’étais plus plongé dans un Ron et Selvam nous a amené cet Abuelo 12 du Panama. Au nez on sent directement le caramel. Et cela ne fait aucun doute en bouche, cela est omniprésent. C’est rond, moelleux. Cela se boit comme du petit lait. Ok c’est additivé avec un peu de sucre, c’est la raison pour laquelle il est si doux et facile à boire. Mais c’est bon, bien entouré, lors d’une belle longue soirée d’été.

Bon rhum. Au nez très agréable, effluves de caramel manifestent. Au second nez des notes de boisé apparaissent. En bouche il est doux et plutôt agréable très fruité, moelleux, le caramel reste présent. Finale très correcte se terminant sur du boisé et des notes d épices. Bon mais tout de même un peu trop sucré à la longue, dommage
