Distiller Notes
Ron Abuelo 12 Anos is a rich, deep amber color in the glass. The pronounced, full-bodied and rounded texture features dry fruit and subtle woody notes that delicately enter the palate. Hints of spicy vanilla complement flavors of sweet caramel and honey for a long-lasting and complex finish.

Deep mahogany color and a smooth molasses nose. Aged for 12 years, it’s sweet and creamy, with deep, layered flavors of clove, allspice, cinnamon, and toasted oak. Exquisite and complex, balanced and long.

Wine Enthusiast
Sweet and sippable, this nut-brown spirit has complex, rich flavors and a soft feel. The aroma is dark and somewhat boozy, with notes of dried fruit and burnt toffee. On the palate, look for creamy vanilla, cinnamon, clove and mocha flavors, with a lovely rounded finish.
Often referred to as a Gold Rum, an Aged Rum is one that has been aged in barrels, often Ex-Bourbon or White Oak before bottling. As the Rum continues to age, it draws more and more color and flavor from the wood, adding both body and complexity to the finished product. Aged Rums can be sipped neat or added to cocktails. They fall somewhere in between White and Dark Rums in terms of their respective strength of flavor.
