Barcelo Gran Anejo

I picked this up this afternoon at the Walmart liquor store. $18 a bottle. very light on the nose/aroma. Palate was gentle and not at all harsh. In fact quite smooth. Nice smooth vanilla flavor with a splash of fruit and cinnamon.
You can easily sip this neat.

For a sip, is very smooth.
Have a young taste, but it´s ok.
Sweet, little coffe and spice.
Short finish.
On the nose smells very nice.

It´s good for the cheap price.

Easy drinking, no depth but still enjoyable, did not mix it, should have...

Heavy taste with alcohol, except that I did not taste anything else. It was similar to a brandy.

Bon rhum, aux notes de tabac et de café, somme toute assez simple, sans grande longueur. Plutôt sec selon moi. Ne laisse pas un souvenir impérissable, mais honorable.

Not a nice drink straight, alcohol taste is very present. Decent mixer.

Barcelo is a rum, that everyone can drink, there is some flouvor from raisen other fruit, it dont have the High alcohol so it kills the taste. Try it it worthy the price

Precis på gränsen till drickbar rent men blir tyvärr för stark spritsmak i slutet.
Bra doft mycket vanilj, de ger bra utslag och smak i cola så blandmässigt är den mycket bra. Prisvärd i Sverige sett till kvalité.

Not much to say - tastes like light, column-made rum.

Close to Barcelo Imperial. however a little thiner than Imperial.
Good for everyday rum.

Neurazí, nenadchne nicméně celkem dobře pitelný a chuť je velice jemná.

En ok rom med vaniljsmak. Skall provas i drinkar. Ok.

Not a good sipping rum but works very well as a mixing rum.

Kind of rum that has nothing special but can be a solution in a club that only offers crap as it isn't bad. Strong alcohol taste, not well balanced, only for mixing. For Cuba libre this rum is somewhere in between Brugal XV (a bit better as smoother) and Havana 7 in my opinion

Pretty good, notes of coffee and toffee. Not that big of a burn.

Had this in Mexico it was this or matusalem 10 year old having had matusalem before went for barcelo however would prefer matusalem but this is still ok slightly rough to start but get a good sweet flavour from it it's a good price for what it is

This rum has a lighter after taste. Not smooth but not strong

A beautifully smooth, sweet Dominican rum from Ron Barceló, Gran Añejo is a perfect mixer and works tremendously well in a variety of dark rum cocktails, or you could just have it with a few ice cubes and a squeeze of fresh lime.

A surprising bargain for a simple sipping rum. No burn.

This was my first sipping rum. It got me interested in exploring rums.

Nice smooth taste of younger ron. I like it. Alcohol is not sharp so it can be drinked well. Not so sweet if someone seek for this taste.

A very pleasant sipping Rum, great quality for the price and a smooth 37.5%. Strong hints of Chocolate and less of Coffee. You can't go wrong for the price.

Meegenomen van vakantie naar de Dominicaanse Republiek. Op zich niet gek, maar soms tikje wrang en niet helemaal mijn smaak. Een 6,5 zou het zijn voor mij. Ook goed voor in de mix.

Sa robe est or pâle.

Au nez, l’impression est sèche. L’arôme dominant est nettement le caramel. Viennent ensuite des notes torréfiées de chocolat. Pour finir une touche vanillée apparaît. L’ensemble est relativement frais.

En bouche, l’attaque est souple mais sèche, ici pas de sucre. On retrouve les mêmes marqueurs qu’au nez. Le chocolat et le caramel font cependant jeu égal. Bien que la bouche soit plutôt légère, les arômes ne sont pas si timides que ça.

La finale est assez longue et toujours sèche. Les mêmes notes demeurent et un boisé discret pointe le bout de son nez.
