“Got a sample of this in my second batch from Rum Ratings Tasting Club and participated in the virtual tasting yesterday. The Abuelo XV Oloroso is 15 years old and is first matured in American oak casks to be finished in Oloroso Sherry casks. Overall it’s very sweet, natural or not, read somewhere that a hydrometer test gave 44 gpl. The finish is medium long.”

“I like the cask finish though I would have loved a higher ABV. Fruity and sweet with an oily palate. I like the light smoky touch in the finish. Price to quality is very good in my mind.”

“Hollow finish. Not a sipping rum. Disappointing for a £70 rum.”
