The Ron Abuelo XV Finish Collection are
authentic Panama Rums, they are the fruit of a long family history that keeps
adding to its expertise. Ron Abuelo has shined
for many years throughout Latin America.
There is a significant importance of tradition in the development of
Abuelo Rum and experimentation which allowed to reach the "finish
collection" of Abuelo XV.
The three
new rums complement the existing range of Anejo, 7 years and 12 years, not
to mention the prestigious Abuelo Centuria .
Ron Abuelo XV Finish Collection is a masterful series rums that is a limited edition created by the master blender at Varela Hermanos. There are three expressions in the series, Napoleon, Tawny and Oloroso. The names were chosen to reflect not just the character of the finishing wood, but also the places that inspired their creation: Napoleon for Cognac and France, Oloroso for Sherry and Spain and Tawny for Port and Portugal.
NAPOLEON: What better name for a rum finished in barrels that have contained cognac! The French oak of these barrels and the delicate and complex flavor and aroma of cognac, with its characteristic fruity sweetness, give Napoleon its distinctive character, because different notes appear to those that we traditionally have in our rums. The aroma has notes of wood, fruit and a hint of cacao. On the palate it has a dry fruit and wood with a lingering elegant finish.
OLOROSO:
Finished in “botas” of Jerez Oloroso (Fragrant Sherry) made of American oak. The Jerez Oloroso is a really aromatic wine with a lot of body and mildly
sweet. It is perhaps the expression that
most maintains the traditional character of our rums, but with a more complex
character, which gives it its final finish where the notes of dried fruit can
be distinguished. First pass by the nose give you a complex blend of citrus peel and smokey wood. In the mouth there are notes of citrus and toasted almonds in the rear of the mouth and a long and enjoyable finish.
All three of these expressions have different and unique flavors that are what has come to be expected from the Varela Hermanos Distillery. It is expected to be priced between $65.00 and $70.00 herein the United States and available around the end of April.
