Abuelo Reserva Superior 7-Year

In terms of flavour this Abuelo 7 remindes me of Malteco 10 - they are both a little too subtle for my taste.
Abuelo is less honeyed and more chocolatey and spicier, but also a little less smoother than Malteco 10.

This is a decent enough rum that deserves 7 points. I find Diplomatico Reserva to be more full of character but all in all I do not regret buying this Abuelo 7. Price is very reasonable, too.

Spicy with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.

Petit rhum à prix très abordable, piquant un peux au nez et en bouche, sympa à servir autour d'une table

Fin rom, til pengene. Har en god eftersmag uden at blive for sød.

I finally opened one of the bottles I picked up a couple years back on closeout. I was hoping this would give me a better idea of what the Abuelo 12 yr would be like with a lot less added sugar, and I wasn't disappointed. Although it is still pretty sweet, it is not the syrupy mess that the 12 year is and a lot more intensity comes through. Due to the way rum is labeled, the ":12 year" could have a few teaspoons of 12 year old rum and a lot more sugar added to make it seem more of a "premium aged rum". This has half as much - approximately 15 g/ltr vs 30 for the 12 year. I would love to taste what this would be like with no sugar at all, but alas the blenders have decided not to give me that option.

Was very surprised and pleased with this rum. Nice nose of maple sirup from Canada with hints of Vanila and spices ...

Round smooth texture in the mouth. Quite good mass market rum from Panama.

Not sure though dry Agricole rum lovers would like this style though.

Abuelo sa goûte la molasse pomal comme si un en rajoutais dans sont vers.

Good price for a smooth sweet rum. The cubata excellent and straight up too quite sipper.

Great on the nose but flavor is far more simple in the glass though still rewarding with relatively strong smokey oak, and a very abrupt chocolate caramel finish.
