Ron Del Barrilito 3 Star

A lot of sweetness, caramel, butterscotch, very smooth

My favorite sipping rum at a price that can’t be beat. Rich, complex, smoky molasses taste. I just love it.

I enjoyed this rum with a plate of authentic pork and thought it paired well. Not an extra aged or double maturation just good smooth rum somewhat reminiscent of dryer Cuban rum. Will not go running looking for it by enjoyed it in the moment.

Came in a nice box finally found in my area enjoyed sipping and also in a cocktail

Absolutely great to mix. But most of all a great sipper.

Florals and some vanilla. I remember loving this when I first tried it like 10 years ago. A little citrus. Maybe some light tobacco. Red amber pour.

from the notes:
Aroma: butter rum lifesaver
Ok. I am surprised I like this. The flavor is... flammable. But good.

Tons of oak and fruit flavor up front followed by a very nice sweet mellow that keeps on. I feel like this is an understated rum that definitely needs to be tried.

This may not be the most complex or the most aged rum, but it’s dangerously pleasant to sip. I guess it could be good for cocktails but at least I’m never even going to try. This is my neat daily sipper. Semi-sweet with notes of vanilla, coconut cream and dried figs. Pleasant nose reminds me of flan caramel and cotton candy. Been sipping this for around 15 years and will continue to do so as long as I can find it around.

My first experience with Ron Del Barrilito 3 Star was a few years ago with a couple of bottles bought at Walgreens in San Juan. Happily I can now find it here in the States
