Twelve years of Panamanian craftsmanship, finished in two exceptional oaks — Ron Abuelo XII Two Oaks is a richly complex aged rum from one of Panama's most celebrated distilleries. Aged for over a decade, the rum begins its journey in American bourbon barrels, developing a foundation of creamy sweetness and vanilla before being transferred to heavily-charred virgin American oak for a distinctive finishing period. The result is a beautifully layered rum that balances the creamy richness of long bourbon barrel maturation with the bold char and depth of virgin oak — a true sipping rum of exceptional quality.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich and inviting with caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and a subtle smokiness from the virgin oak finish — warm and deeply complex
• Palate: Luxuriously smooth with creamy caramel, vanilla, dark chocolate, and a bold char character from the virgin oak finishing — the 12+ years of aging delivering extraordinary depth and balance
• Finish: Long, warm, and satisfying with lingering caramel, char, and a refined smoky sweetness that speaks to the quality of the two-oak maturation process

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ron Abuelo?

Ron Abuelo ("Grandfather's Rum") is produced by Varela Hermanos in the Pesé region of Panama — one of Central America's most respected rum producers, with a history dating back to 1908. The XII designation refers to the 12-year minimum age of the rum in the blend, making it one of the most mature expressions in the Ron Abuelo portfolio.

What does Two Oaks mean?

Two Oaks refers to the dual-cask maturation process: the rum is first aged in American bourbon barrels for creamy sweetness and vanilla character, then finished in heavily-charred virgin American oak for additional depth, char, and complexity — two distinct oak influences creating one exceptionally layered rum.
