A 12 year old dark rum from Ron Abuelo of Panama. They age their rum in whiskey barrels, which adds a distinct vanilla sweetness. This 12 year old was launched in 2009, and is elegant, slightly smoky and rich. It was awarded a Gold at the 2009 Ministry of Rum Tasting Competition.
Buttery toffee notes with hints of caramel and citrus. Molasses... Dates...
Thick and creamy, with notes of spice, toasted oak, herbs and dark brown sugar.
Good finish with cinnamon and oak.
Having stumbled across a rum enthusiast working in a good booze shop he's been passing on his favs and having tried 7 or 8 nice bottles i put this as the best yet. it felt so thick and creamy compared to others and had a moreish quality to it that I've not experienced before
Smooth, nice, tasty and a really good value. This is a mid price rum that can put on shame some hi end ones. If you like cigars, an Hoyo de Monterrey Doble Corona is the perfect companion. The mix, is like heaven.
