Ron Abuelo (his portrait graces the label of this rum) reminds me of someone but I can’t quite put my finger on who. (An engagingly gone-to-seed Vladimir Lenin? The Monopoly Man’s symphony-conducting older brother?) Bottles of his namesake spirit started turning up around NYC about six months ago at a price point generally associated with bus station favorites like Ronrico, but make no mistake--this is really classy stuff. It’s got some great notes to it--banana, mango and even some cream soda. In sum, this drink is as enchanting as the secluded beaches of Playa la Barqueta and quite possibly the best Panamanian export since Roberto Duran!
