I just got my second bottle of this new rum from Barcelo. It is in between the Gran Añejo and the Imperial. Stores here in Spain don't seem to know what price to ask for. I have seen it several times about 20 euro, but also for 16. In this price range and flavour it has now become my number one competitor for Cuba Libre to Pampero Aniversario.
I don't consider it a rum to sip, possibly it could be. It has much more flavour than Barcelo Imperial and has not that strong alcohol presence as Gran Añejo. The 9/10 is thinking for Cuba Libre matching in my case the Pampero Aniversario. For sipping it would be lower, really haven't tried neat, maybe for a future update.
Fantastic value, superb for Cuba Libre 9 out of 10
