Abuelo Gran Reserva 12-Year

Tried on a rum tasting evening... can't recall any specific flavors...

Caramel and woody aroma, woody and alcohol body with aftertaste mild burning.

Reminded me of cognac, distantly. Wood and fruity, easily downed. For 1 small sample out of it, was really okay. Nothing memorable, noteworthy, to take back home.

This rum was recommended to me as good alternative to Borucal Reserva Exclusiva. I can'ts say, that this one is real alternative for Botucal, but it definetly deserves your attention. It has something similar with Botucal, but contains some sour tones in its taste.

I find it sweet on the palate, with traces of vanilla and caramel. It is also very sweet on the nose.
I think it cost me around 30 USD, excellent price, and it gave me very good after-dinner

Karamelová a dřevitá vůně. T
Dosti nasladlý a mírně dřevitý rum, více než 7 letý. V chuti jsou třešně, karamel a vanilka.
Spíše 7-8/10

Plum vanilla and hint of coffee smoother than 12yrs likely because this is the lowest aged statement

Aroma soft with some caramel and alcohol and detected wood scent. Taste was not overwhelming with sweetness for me. Definitely caramel, some spice and slight wood taste. Aftertaste is short. I want to really like this rum but there is nothing that stands out. It is a good rum and that is all. But for the same price point as Cana Fuerte 16, Kaniche, el pasador de oro, plantation xo, ???? Maybe that is it. This is a fine rum but for the $25 price range not $45

This is a perfect, ideally balanced classic rum. I caught myself thinking that they deliberately lowered the strength to 37.5 in order to balance the aftertaste of 12 years of aging. And they did it brilliantly. Definitely will recommend it and buy again!

Tasted at Laka Lono on 7/25/19. A black pour. Faint aroma of chestnuts. Mild tingling palate. Rich earthy flavor. The aging process definitely improved this. I'm a fan.
