Ron Abuelo XII Años Two Oaks, Selección Especial (SRP, $59.99), their newest aged rum from Panama,
now available in the U.S. market.
This unique selection is crafted from an exquisite blend of aged (between 8 and 40+ years old) rums averaging just over 11-years old. The benchmark rum was first matured in white oak bourbon barrels before being finished for an additional nine months in first fill extra-charred American oak barrels for exceptional smoothness, depth and nuance.
The idea for Ron Abuelo Two Oaks arose when Luis J. Varela, Jr., third generation of the Varela family and current head of the company, endeavored to produce a rounder, silkier version of what currently exists in the Abuelo portfolio something so smooth and exceptional that new techniques needed to be created in order to produce the desired result.
