ABUELO - 15 years - XV - Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish - 40%
Ron Abuelo is a rum distillery located in Panama . Ron Abuelo represents the culmination of three generations of rum tradition and pays homage to Don José Varela Blanco who left Spain in 1908 to establish Panama's first sugar cane plantation. The first rum was produced in 1936. Ron Abuelo takes care of the harvest to bottling exclusively under his own management and on site. They make a long-lasting base syrup or “honey de caña” from the pressed sugar cane juice, then water is added from their own well with yeast cultures grown on site. After fermentation into sugar cane wine, distillation follows in a single column still. The young rum is then left to mature quietly in small ex-Bourbon oak barrels. The most exclusive expressions are left to mature using the Solera method. After years of maturation, the barrels are carefully selected in batches to form a blend in a larger barrel. The barrel strength is around 65%, so deionized water is added up to 40% with a little sugar for the optimal taste experience.
This edition is a 15 year old rum aged in Oloroso sherry casks .
