Ron Abuelo Añejo 12 Años (70cl, 40%)

Ron Abuelo Añejo 12 Años is a matured premium rum from Panama, produced by Varela Hermanos (Destilería Don José). It is made from fermented molasses and aged for 12 years in American white oak, often in ex-Bourbon casks, in a tropical climate. The ageing gives it soft sweetness, mature oak spice and a rounded, elegant mouthfeel. It is suited to sipping neat, over a large ice cube, or as the base for a Rum Old Fashioned. In the glass it shows dark amber to nut-brown with golden reflections. The nose brings vanilla, caramel or toffee, dried fruit and fine oak and spice notes; the palate is full-bodied and round with sweet caramel, honey or toffee, vanilla and subtle oak spice, leading to a long, warm, complex finish with sweet-spicy and soft wood notes.
