BUY RON ABUELO 12YR ONLINE | Five Points Bottle Shop

Notes: This rum is made from sugar cane honey not molasses - which makes a huge difference in taste for the better. Distilled in a 4 column still then aged in used bourbon white oak casks and bottled with a age statement. They use a blend of rums to make this product the minimum age of which is twelve years old. This rum is part of a series, portfolio, or flight, ( depending on your personal linguistic taste ) the others being the Ron Abuelo Anejo and Ron Abuelo 7 Year Old. This is one of the few rum producers who grow their own sugar cane which allows them a bit more control over the sugar cane they use in their product for both consistency and taste.Appearance: Luscious bright bronze deep baltic amber gold color clear with no hazing separation or floating sediments. Long legs develop slowly on swirling along with droplets, then changing to mostly droplets.First Impression: A full rich full on rum that is woody and spicy, subdued butterscotch with loads of oak, cane juice and molasses,dried fruits dry bouquet full of complexity and hints of alcohol around the edges.Taste: A lush subtle expression that has all the elements of the 7 but where the 7 shouts the 12 whispers. . . Spicy, medium bodied, touches of vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, butterscotch and mace. Nutty and spicy, with a touch of sweetness, oak, vanilla, tobacco and char all leading to a afterglow of a lingering finish.
