Ron Del Barrilito 3 Star rum

Ron Del Barrilito 3 Star

Puerto Rico | Aged | 40% ABV

Ron del Barrilito 3 Star rum is produced in Bayamón Puerto Rico by the Fernández family, which has been producing rum in the area since 1804, making it the oldest rum manufacturer in Puerto Rico. The rum is first blended and then aged for a minimum of 6 years.

A single barrel of Ron del Barrilito rum was set aside in 1942 called the 'Freedom Barrel.' When Puerto Rico gains its independence the Freedom Barrel will be opened in the Bayamón town square for all to share.

Light amber, faint nose, but nicely balanced and very easy to sip. A very good value.

Solid rum right down the middle on caramel good slight burn, smoother than the 2star but I prefer the 2 star because this one is sweeter and I lean away from sweet rums.

Väldigt bra för sitt pris men inte supergod sipping rum. Ok

This is NOT the sweet rum you might have been looking for; but it IS a good rum! Others have compared to drinking cognac, and I would have to agree. It has some bite and smokiness that both mellow with a single ice cube and a little time to breathe. This also opens up the other flavours and aromas to increase the complexity. Not my everyday favourite, but definitely a regular option when I want something a little different (but still great) to sip. And I have to say that even though it's a good deal (especially if you buy it in PR), I do think it's wasted in mixed drinks.

This is a pretty good rum. Molasses, smoke, pepper, oak, almond, sherry, and even a light touch of orange.

It's a good rum, though I think it's a little hot at 43%abv (I think only the 8 and above rated rums do really well at that alcohol content). Still, a very decent rum for the money, and one I would recommend for the cost.

Had this on vacation in old San Juan, PR. One of the most complex flavors I have tried.
Starts with the aroma. Florid, and smooth. Flavors that really stand out. It is a young rum, so a little harsh. Be sure to let it stand for a moment before tasting.

This is definitely better than their 2 star, but still a little harsh to drink neat. Alcohol burn is too strong but works well in rum and coke as well as other cocktails and adds a nice flavor to rum cakes.

IF you can get it, this is an excellent rum for mixing. (not a sipping rum) Personally I don't believe that just because a recipe calls for a specific rum, like silver for instance, that you MUST use that rum. This rum makes outstanding Cuba Libre, Pina Colada.. etc.

I upgraded this to a 7 from a 6. It's been a while since I last had this. Lately I find myself liking sherry cask influenced rums on the dry side where as before not so much so that's where the upgrade comes from. The sherry seems to be perfectly balance with this. Good aroma and slight flavor. The 43% kind of overpowers what this rum could be if it was at 40%. But to me that works because I sip it slower. This is the only PR rum I would ever buy but no frequently. When I'm in the mood for something different this will be in the mix. Especially for $40.
