    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the smooth, sweet profile and cognac-cask influence here. Expect vanilla and caramel on the nose with woody dried-fruit notes, then a gentle palate where cognac and caramel return. Easy to drink at 40% and often enjoyed neat; some pair it with chocolate. A few find it quite sweet and light in power, but this popular Panama rum earns steady praise across 110 community reviews.

    So smooth with a lovely cognac finish

    Not really me. Somewhat bitter and sweet.

    I vave it 9 because I had tasting with salt chocolate. The combination made it so much better. First sip a little and bite small piece of salty chocolate, after the chocolate disolves in mouth drink the rum. This takes the taste to another level!

    Pleasantly surprised by this Abuelo, it makes you want to try the different finishes in the range.
