Abuelo Gran Reserva 12-Year

From my point of view, the aging is well present in the scent and taste of this rum, the nose is oak, tropical fruits and vanilla, the taste profile is typical Panama mix of oak, tobacco and leather, there is also toffee, it is smooth and it is also (unfortunately) quite sweet with 30g/l added sugar - I might say a bit too much for me to really appreciate this rum. If you like sweet rums, this is your guy.

Had this one in Mała Sztuka on Gdańsk, Poland. I like deep colour is this solera rum. Sweet fruity and spicy rich aroma. Sweet and sour taste with only little alcohol and much tropical fruits and a sweet and sour taste I can't classify. Taste lasts for long but overall experience it's not extraordinary.

A very smooth drink. Altough i liked this rum very much at first, it started to bore me after a while for not being to particular enough.

I definitely like Panamanian rum. This is very good. Smoke, coffee and mocha notes. Sweet molasses in there but not too much. Definitely not sugary sweet. Subtle complexity and very smooth. Nice balance with bite you taste but don’t feel. Great stuff. Better neat than on ice but either way thus is a formidable sipper.

This was very smooth. It finishes with a mild bite in the throat. The aroma is pleasant. I will be adding it to my collection.

Woody with burned caramel. Dry but with a fine balance of sweetness.
A fine rum

Okay rum. Bit hard in the beginning but the after taste with a touch of nuts is nice. After taste isn’t very long. Has enough sweet in it.

I liked it nice nose nice color has recently become on of my go to rums. Might try again but feel 7 is fair.Tried again and agree with most posts, taste like some added sugars but very pleasing.

Pour un rhum de 12 ans, il est très bon. Il se déguste très bien seul, sans glace ou accompagnement.

This is a well made, smooth rum with a great initial impression. The aftertaste of coffee and maybe a hint of chocolate leaves me flat however.

It’s very drinkable and I’d pick this over many others. It has a dark, rich taste and I’d give a higher rating if the notes were more fruity or vanilla.

Edit* after four months experience, I am upgrading this rating. The flavors of this are very nice. Lots of brown sugar, and a little spice. At first, my lack of experience and bias toward vanilla made me rate it lower but now it goes from 7 to 8.
