    Caramel and cognac notes lead the rich, dessert-like profile of Abuelo XV Napoleon, underpinned by woody, sweet, and lightly spiced layers. RumX tasters highlight its smoothness, balanced sweetness, and a unique cognac influence that adds intrigue.

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

     8,2:On the nose, it is round and balanced, smooth, first of all, pleasant smoke is saying hello, as we notice ex bourbon ageing and charred wood with caramel, orange, tobacco, sweet spices mainly, vanilla and nuts then. When aired, cognac finish gives its mark with dryness, as we notice dried fruits, as becomes more woody as before. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is soft, even sweet, but also woody and smoky, we could reply the nose notes with an orange, caramel and tobacco, then there are nuts, vanilla, some spiciness and dried fruits and dry cognac finish with its mark. Pleasantly round and tasty. 8:The finish is quite long, dry with dried fruits, woody/sweet with tannins, orange and ended with tobacco, smoky notes..
