RON MEDELLIN 12YRS GRAN RESERVA 750ML

Extremely Smooth._ Medellin 12 A_os has an honest mild amber color perhaps lighter hued than you might expect from a rum aged up to 12 years but likely indicating an absence of artificial coloring._ Legs are prolific fast and thin perhaps indicating a rum aged well and an absence or sugary adulterations._ A warm light caramel bouquet emanates comfortably from the squat bottle of Medellin 12 A_os as soon as its screw cap is twisted off._ Aromas tend more toward toffee oak moist pipe tobacco an oily nutty essence mild vanilla and spice _ unencumbered by alcohol at 35% ABV._ Initial tasting reveals a rum that is more spicy on the front end that the aromas hint at but still pleasant with caramel and milk chocolate mid-palate then a bit ofmild white pepper to liven up the flavors._ The body is medium lightweight and theres nothing harsh about it._ The supple flavors and relatively low alcohol content makes Medellin 12 pleasing to drink._ The finish is just to the sweet side of dry with caramel and toffee like having an unsweetened rum for dessert.
