"A little Abuelo tasting. Somehow I like this rum. A nice vanilla and caramel note here too. Slightly sweet, but completely ok. Not quite as good as the previous two, but still better than the classic average rum."

"I like the fruity nose a little better than the complex but average palate. More individual aromas develop in the finish. Nothing disturbs here, simple and delicious."

"A nice sipper. Nothing special but for the price it's really not bad at all. More woody than fruity. The taste and finish bring strong creme brulee notes for me."
