Ron Abuelo wins prize

One of my favorite rums in the world Ron Abuelo has one yet more awards. This time by the Ministry of Rum and the Beverage Testing Institute

I have tried the 7 year old, and I have to admit I don’t think there is all that much difference between that and the ordinary añejo. However at roughly $4 for the regular and $7 for the 7 year old I guess there’s not much difference in price either.

Before arriving in Panama I was used to Jamaican and Martiniquean aged rums which easily cost 5 times as much in their respective home lands. I could not get over the price of Ron Abuelo. It’s got all the flavor and sophistication of an Appleton 12 year at a fraction of the price.

as a rum connoisseur and proud panameño, i love Abuelo, though you forgot Cortez as another brand which is about equal to carta vieja. actually, i always leave la patria with the maximum number of bottles (3), split between seco and abuelo, and people used to Havana Club or other fine rones love abuelo.
