“Got this 5cl sample in my second batch from Rum Ratings Tasting Club and participated in the virtual tasting yesterday. The Abuelo XII Two Oaks is a 12yo rum stored in two different types of oak barrels. First on traditional Tennessee whiskey / bourbon casks during 11 years, and then a final storage on deep-fried casks of new American white oak. It’s produced from both molasses and sugar cane juice by Varela Hermanos. The sugar content is 24 gpl, so it’s sweet but not extremely sweet.”

“I don't normally find smoky flavors so great, but here it is very restrained and fits well into the overall picture. Clear caramel sweetness meets wood and roasted notes, round and delicious! More of a rum for beginners to advanced drinkers... the profile definitely suits my taste and it's worth trying. Solid Spaniard with high intensity despite only 40%.”

“Though a rum in the cheaper end of the scale you still get a pretty good rum. Sweet and fruity with some smoke and wood. I like the caramel note in the profile. Draws nice curtains and the empty glass is nice after a while.”
