Special 15-year editions finished in sherry oloroso barrels, napoleon cognac and port tawny took us on a wonderful journey around the world. Unlike many whiskey editions, here the finish had a strong impact on the character of the drink and you could have fun catching nuances.

Ron Abuelo XV Napoleon Cognac Cask Finish Light aroma of dark maple syrup & vanilla. Flavor: Sweet without being overpowering. Orangey citrus with a hint of butterscotch. I gotta find the Tawny or Sherry cask version, it's bound to be great. Rating is based on neat sipping.
Une belle couleur, un nez et une attaque douce et ronde, un finish franc et fort. Un rhum très complet.
Nose: Citrus, beeswax, vanilla Palate: Honey, vanilla, apples Finish: Quite dry and light
Musk, cigars, caramel macrons, norwegian christmas cookies, maple syrup
