Barcelo Gran Anejo

I find this Barcelo gran añejo impossible to drink on the rocks but perfect for a good rum-coke! So as a sipper I rate it a 3 but as a mixer I rate it a good 7 that's why the score of 6 because it is a love and hate relation for me.

More bite the Imperial. Can still be enjoyed Neat if you like some bite, The alcohol lingers just a bit when drinking Neat, its an excellent for mixing, make a good Rum a coke or Rum and Coconut water when hydration is needed. When traveling in the Island its readily available in every restaurant and bar.

I think I paid 45 dollars for this. Well worth it. Comes in a nice looking bottle. Has a nice mild oakiness about it and the some sweetness from the sugar cane.

Ordinary aroma, relatively smooth taste, not long finish, acceptable afterburn. Good young rum.

Perhaps this is aged a bit longer than the anejo but I could not detect much difference other than the bottle. Certainly not worth the increase in price.

This is my first rum, so I was not sure if 8 is not to high. I tried some cheap rums before and never could enjoy sipping because of a strong alcohol taste. So I was sticking to whisky.
Gave rum another chance with buying this one after reading some of the reviews here.
I’m lost to rum now! Finally no alcohol, pure pleasure!
I’ll continue exploring, thank you Barcelo!

A smooth taste, not overwhelming to the nose. A mild warmth after sipping. A good rum for the price.

Very good for the price, light and not over sweet. A good standby if your favorite isn’t available.

medium bronze, bright, one note taste, sweet. Very fleeting unpleasant aftertaste, something rotten? two 1 oz shots always leaves a headache

Better than average for mixed drinks and okay on the rocks, but not a sipping rum. Lots of brown sugar on the nose.

Rum celku se zajímavou chutí, za tu cenu dobrý...

this could open gate to the rum world but it it still so much different then my style of rum. i can feel some oil barrel, that to much, other spices? a bit to weak sweetness, but of course there was great party with that, I/t its worthy to taste, but not for my classic open bar bottle. taste is ti much oil in my opinion, even if there should be called cream taste in my opinion it is oil not creamy,

Nichts besonders. Würde jederzeit zum wirklich guten Imperial greifen.

Zdravim jedná se o klasiku co je dostupná a chuťově neurazí z aroma vyčnívá dřevitost a v pozadí karamel a rozinky co se týká chuti tak ji přebijí alkohol však dozvuky se dostaví do míchaných nápojů se ale nehodí

Light in color. Smells light and very sweet and of caramel like a candy bar. Not too harsh but there's definitely a burn there. Better than the añejo version but I wouldn't really consider it a sipping rum. Sweet on the tongue but you don't taste much else. Not complex, and would definitely just mix this. Pretty good in pineapple juice, almost disappears so would make a mean drink.

Good to mix good and good drinking alot without mix even good to sip on.

- vůně nasládlá, ovocná, hlavně broskve
- ovocná, příjemná, závěr dřevitý
v této cenové relaci zajímavý počin

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.
