The Ron Abuelo XV Tawny Port Finish Rum is a premium edition from the esteemed Panamanian distillery, Varela Hermanos. This exceptional rum is aged for 15 years, crafted from the sugarcane of Finca San Isidro, and undergoes a unique fermentation process where it is transformed into a honey-like syrup before aging. The initial Solera aging in ex-Bourbon barrels imparts fundamental sweetness and spice, while the final finishing in Tawny Port wine casks introduces exciting notes of berry fruits and cocoa.
The aroma is rich and decadent, featuring vanilla, almonds, cherry, caramel, and tobacco. On the palate, it is sweet and intense, with flavors of caramel, tobacco, and nuts. The finish is long and complex, with tobacco leading and woody and almond notes subtly receding.
This rum is a blend of selected rums, aged for 15 years in American oak Bourbon casks, and finished in Tawny Port casks. The result is a unique and enjoyable rum, particularly suited for those who appreciate a port finish and a gentle introduction to Panamanian rums.
