“Got this 5cl sample in my second batch from Rum Ratings Tasting Club and participated in the virtual tasting yesterday. The Abuelo XII Two Oaks is a 12yo rum stored in two different types of oak barrels. First on traditional Tennessee whiskey / bourbon casks during 11 years, and then a final storage on deep-fried casks of new American white oak. It’s produced from both molasses and sugar cane juice by Varela Hermanos. The sugar content is 24 gpl, so it’s sweet but not extremely sweet.”

“Though a rum in the cheaper end of the scale you still get a pretty good rum. Sweet and fruity with some smoke and wood. I like the caramel note in the profile. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass is nice after a while.”

“Normally I find smoky flavors not so great, but here it is very restrained and fits well into the overall picture. Clear caramel sweetness meets wood and toasty notes, round and delicious! Rather still a rum for beginners to advanced... the profile definitely meets my taste and it is worth it to have tried. Solid Spaniard!”
