It's drinkable straight up but not great. Got some complexity, oakiness and maybe hints om smoke. Not excatly smooth. Medium sweetness. Goes great with lime and ginger ale.

Very surprised by the low ratings, this rum is great - butterscotch sweetness but with a gentle burn. Smells, tastes even better.

Barcelo Gran Anejo 37,5% (Dominican Republic) 249 SEK

Eye: Golden

Nose: A bit restrained so I better leave it for a couple of minutes to develop. Didn´t do much I´m afraid. Barcelo seem to want to keep to itself. Very gentle tones of candied citrus, just detectable honey (have I lost my sense of smell?) and barely tones of muscovado. I also find something… like… smoked honey glazed ham, but again, just barely. Now it smells like cool rain on dry and dusty gobble stone. It balances the watershed line to go either way of pleasant or unpleasant but I can figure it out so let´s move on and see if there are any flavors for the palate instead.

Mouth: Astringent to begin with but with delicate notes of exotic fruits, birch sap and fur resin. It is light and thin and is chrome-like (polished steel). Not too sweet at all, in fact we could use something to fill up the base/top register. The middle however is quiet nice with its flora flirting but I need more of everything to be impressed. It opens up a bit now but is still in danger of being too insipid to be assessed. Young and awkward with some potential down the line, that´s what I have to say about you today my friend.

Reaction: Well, it is entirely my fault I am disappointed. For unknown reasons I had some hopes this would be more than just above drink ingredient. But I might add, a very fine one. It is a cheap rum compared to Bacardi, Havana Club and Captain Morgan´s equivalents in the same price range so I guess we can announce it a good price/taste-ratio-rum. But still, what the hell I am going to do with that kind of rum, ey?

48p

Price: 249 SEK
Tasted: 2016, in a Riedel Sommelier Cognac XO glass at room temperature.

Certainly not bad, but it ain't great either. It's rum like you expect.
When you can get it on discount, it will give you a decent rum to enjoy.

It's like a shag; even if it's not great, you still had a good time.

First impression is a little harsh. It's like the rum bites your tongue. Aftertaste is not too bad. But I guess it's best in cocktails.

J'ai rapporté une bouteil lors d'un voyage en République Dominicaine. Agréablement surpris. Je m'attendais qu'il ne soit seulement bon qu'avec du cola. Ce n'ai toutefois pas le meilleur rhum à prendre sec.

This rum is not for drinking straight up, its way to harsh.
As a mixer it does alright and the drinks are enjoyable
but there are better ones out there at similar prices.

Es uno de mis favoritos para mezclar con refrescos, da un buen sabor, sin llegar a ocultar el sabor del refresco
