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.

Un bon petit rhum à l'espagnole pas cher et sympa. Goût caramel tout en restant léger.

It's pretty smooth and although it's very sweet, I really enjoyed it...

Described as 'smokey' by some of the colleagues here. I think it perfectly fits. Not my fav but good quality drink indeed. I just more prefer rounded taste, sweeter rums with really specific character and this one is lil bit forgettable.

Not too sweet, not too dry, not too strong. It has some mild dark flavour to it but little aftertaste, which I think it's what could improve this rum ratings one or two points. Fairly cheap and definitely easy to sip. I will enjoy it once, but I wouldn't buy it again for myself.

It comes in a black-and-gold-printed sturdy cardboard box, which makes it an excellent corporate gift.

It tastes stronger than Barcelo Imperial Onyx, good rum for the price.

Something is missing in this one. It isn't harsh nor smooth, but dry and not that complex. Not my type, wouldn't buy again.

Great rum, very pleasant to taste.
Very good for drinking solo. You can smell nutty notes and vanilla.

Well ballance. Good taste, but a little bit artificial. Alcohol is very well covered by taste. Not expensive.
