Not at all an experienced rum drinker, just getting into it, but enjoyed the smoothness of this one! Quite dry, and a tinge smokey - which goes just fine with a nice cigar.

Me gusta mucho este ron dulce y añejo, yo lo prefiero tomar convidado con Coca-Cola, sin embargo sabe bien con soda y un poco de limón como lo toman en República Dominicana

One of my top go-to rums. Voted best rum in the world by the BI 2000, 2001.
Definitely something to try, and the price is fantastic!
For 5 consecutive years was considered the best rum in the world and then was replaced by the Imperial Premium Blend also belongs to the Barceló range . Great to be served on the rocks and has a wonderful perfect serve : Ice on the rocks and a vanilla pod ( awakens the "secret" scents of this rum. It is definitely a rum to taste and take home for those who really know how to appreciate rum.
Very tasty but lower rate than it should be due to price

Smooth not too much sweet with hint of vanila. Smaller body and aftertaste. Aroma with lot of alcohol...

Very good rum for dry rums lovers. Super good price for the performance (if it costed more I would give 7/10). If you are tired of the sweet pleasers, try this one. It will fill your mouth with many aromas, but none of them will be vanilla or fruity.

Nice taste, smooth, dark bitter chocolate, little vanilla, not so sweet. Smell is nice, a bit fruity. Like it more than similar (at least for me) Kirk & Sweeney 23

This is a very versatile rum that with a big suprise in flavor. Good on the rocks or neat it also mixes well with tonic or coke. I've gone all up and down the spectrum and this rum fits many needs. For a sipping rum I lean to Zacappa XO but Barcelo is a moderate price and well worth it. Without question it is my "go to" rum. While I can't get in Michigan I find DrinkUpNY is easy to deal with.
