Abuelo 12 ans is a traditional rum resulting from a unique blend of several vintages aged in small oak barrels and selected by the Varela Hermanos distillery cellar master.
This rum reflects both know-how and tropical terroir through its rich aromatic bouquet and suppleness.
Laurent's tasting notes
Its color is a beautiful compromise between amber and copper.
On the nose, this rum initially reveals gourmet caramel and barrel wood. But on return, the wood turns to tobacco, bitter orange and sweet spices
notes of nuts (hazelnut) and green pepper appear. A rich nose.
On the palate, the attack is supple and even slightly sweet. Caramel and sweet spices lead the way.
The finish again presents the caramel that has followed us throughout the tasting. The woodiness returns (and takes up more and more space after a few minutes, among other things in the form of tobacco). Nuts play a small role in the background.
