Thank You so much Rhum Attitude for providing a proper rum tasting during the 16th month of global lockdown. Tasting continued onwards with Barcelo Signio. Very nice unique bottle and label design. Golden color. Mild flavor profile, but very sweet and additional artificial flavors are there. No burn at all mostly due to high sugar contents.
I just got my second bottle of this new rum from Barcelo. It is in between the Gran Añejo and the Imperial. Stores here in Spain don't seem to know what price to ask for. I have seen it several times about 20 euro, but also for 16. In this price range and flavour it has now become my number one competitor for Cuba Libre to Pampero Aniversario.
I don't consider it a rum to sip, possibly it could be. It has much more flavour than Barcelo Imperial and has not that strong alcohol presence as Gran Añejo. The 8/10 is thinking for Cuba Libre nearly as good as the Pampero Aniversario for it. For sipping it would be lower, really haven't tried neat, maybe for a future update.

Rather sweet for a Barcelo rum 7 out of 10
