Abuelo Reserva Superior 7-Year

To be accurate I'll give it a 6.5. Very woody smell, not as sweet or good as Havana Club 7 but better than Flor de Caña 7. Distinctive taste.

Yes, it tastes a bit like whiskey but still a rum. A little spicy and a little sweet. Well balanced and decent for the price, but not my cup of tea.

I'm glad i bought this one for a try. This rum perfectly matches my taste buds. Kind of sweet, light but has a great rum taste.

Overly sweet at first, but has really nice butterscotch flavours, wood and flowers.

Tasted 2/7/22 at Laka Lono as part of a 4-rum Ron Abuelo tasting to finish off Quartermaster status.
Tasting notes indicate this rum is "kinda hot" and "I'm ok with letting other people drink this," meaning that I want to support rum but sometimes it is best to let other people have the rest of the bottle.

Laka Lono Kill devil rum club tasting
Appearance: amber/rose (could be the lighting)
Aroma: sweet, vanilla, caramel
Flavor: I'm going to upgrade this to an 8.
Why? Delightful combo of dust, vanilla, the color gray and sunshine

Well demonstrates the base line of Abuelo rums. Bright vanilla and smokiness barrel, nutty honey; The taste is dense, slightly sweet, not alcoholic. Great to enjoy without mixing cocktail.

Nothing real exciting to report on this one. Like others stated, on the nose has a whiskey barrel scent, on the tongue, a dry slight spice flavor with lingering vanilla after taste. Decent value for the money due to a smooth sipping factor.

All around very nice flavor, not much whisky barrel or smoke etc .. just vanilla caramel, a little bourbon
But it’s a got a little lingering heat and flavor

It's so slightly better then abuelo anejo, that there is no sense in buying it.

A good and spicy rum. Tastes as full bodied and spicy as other 12y rums but with a lower price level
