Abuelo XV Tawny Port Cask Finish

I admire the craftsmanship that is put in blending and creating this rum. The taste starts like a normal Abuelo Rum (which I like). Followed by the port / red wine flavors which is a bit too much to my liking. Therefore I would not buy this again.

Update: I’ve grown to like it and therefore updated the score. Still wouldn’t buy again but it’s definitely a nice rum to smell, taste and try.

This is a great rum. Great flavors, very smooth, nice finish. It has a little more body - some rums are watery compared to this one.

This is a very smooth rum. My favorite is Foursquare, but this rum is definitely in my top 5!

This rum which is aged at 15yrs has a nice flavor to it but at 15yrs old most rums don't require additional flavoring so I'm sceptical with the age. There's no way to tell it's 15yrs old except the printing on the label. I have found most 15yr old rums I've tried have a definite tell tale sign of the wood cask it sat in. This does not have that note! Now maybe 10 or 12 yrs max, maybe! Now, is it the port casking that inhibits those wood notes? At $80 a bottle I will not look any further. At $40-50 as other 15yr old rums go for I might give it another try. So I move on as that is my favorite ride with rum! It got a 7 because it was an interesting ride. If it was properly priced I would've given it more.

La verdad la calificación lo pone más cerca del 9 que del 8 en nariz equibrado en maderas, en boca se nota el buen hacer ya que tiene fuerza y además no hay azúcares artificiales, sin embargo hay dulzor, es un buen ron, yo nunca lo desperdiciarla con refrescos y aunque por menos de 60€ que costó, tampoco repitiría los hay que me gustan mas por menos o lo mismo.

Amber color. Perfect aroma. Very mild in flavor. Brilliant finish of Porto.

Rum se nevyrábí z melasy, ale z panenské šťávy cukrové třtiny. Zrát by měl 14 let v sudech po bourbonu a 1 rok v sudech po portském (zřejmě solerou).

Aroma: Karamel, med, ovocnost a travnaté tóny
Chuť: Zvláštně ovocná poté lehce kořenitá, sladká
Dozvuk: Koření, směs bonbónů a úplně nakonec rozinky
Sladkost: 3/3
Dosti se podobá XV Oloroso, ale je o dost sladší a kořenitější. 2. místo z trojice Abuelo XV.

Port, port, so very port! The aroma might not be the most awesome, but the taste is so much port… love it!

Abuelo XV Tawny Port Cask Finish - Bitter taste with good aroma

As a port and rum drinker, i was highly anticipating.. and i have to say i cant make up my mind. Both tastes are there.. but the port seems a bit too present.

Need to let it rest a bit and give it another try
