This selection is blended from rums aged between 8 and 40+ years old, averaging just over 11 years of age. Abuelo Two Oaks is an exquisite, smoky and rich 12-year-old rum, initially double matured in ex-bourbon barrels before being finished for 9 months in first fill extra-charred in heavily-charred virgin American oak casks, for a sublimely smooth flavor and deep, complex smoky character.
Tasting Notes:
Dark amber color. Delicate smoky aromas of hickory smoke, clove, sun dried tomatoes, caramel, oak, vanilla, coffee and bruised apple with a satiny, bright, fruity light-to-medium body and a tingling, intriguing, medium-length caramel latte, tamarind, and smoked sea salt finish. A smoky-sweet rum to add distinctive flavor to creative cocktails.
Two Oaks and all of the rums of Ron Abuelo are created by the expert distillers at Varela Hermanos, a family-owned company that dates back to 1908, when Don José Varela established the first sugar mill in the town of Pesé in the recently formed Republic of Panama. Quality is the hallmark of the brand, but Ron Abuelo’s secret weapon is its reserve of mature rum. The company’s expertise and exacting standards are devoted to the creation of a line of remarkable, aged rums sold under the Ron Abuelo name.
