A richly smoky release from Ron Abuelo over in Panama, as you may have guessed Two Oaks has been matured in two different types of oak cask. Aged for over a decade, initially the rum was rested in bourbon barrels before it was transferred to heavily-charred virgin American oak for a finishing period. Lots of creamy sweetness in there from the initial maturation alongside those char notes.
Peppery oak spice and chocolate-covered raisin, with a hint of vanilla, caramelised almond and milky coffee.
I am not a huge rum drinker and a lot of rums just don't do it for me...... This rum is different. Amazing flavors, sweet chocolate and coffee, vanilla. Wonderful for sipping and even impressed me, someone who is not a rum fan. Perfect for sipping and would also taste wonderful in sweet treats such as biscuits, tiramassu, Ice creme ect.
Was a fan of the standard 12 year old, this ratchets it up notch. Sweet, complex tones, in a highly pleasant format. Beautifully rounded, vanilla caramel, and it just works amazingly well
