One of the first higher quality rums, that I bought. It has been a while, but I can confirm that this rum does not disapoint...

Not the rum for me is dry and too complex with a cigar, or to mix will be good, but is not too cheap to be mix.

If you want a sipping rum that won't set you back $50 this isn't a bad choice. I would order this at the Iberostar in Punta Cana because all their other local stuff (Brugal) was less than drinkable. If you're on a budget in the USA and like rum, this is a good choice.

I've probably been overly generous in my marking but this was the rum that got me into collecting and tasting them.

Until I tried this I'd only had basic rums, mixed with cokes. It blew me away. Such depth and complexity, like a cognac.

This is a recent retesting.

Leathery nose.

Some tobacco and caramel to taste, some burnt honey, something else a bit bitter and a slightest hint of vegetation.

Not much of an aftertaste and everything fades pretty quickly. Maybe because it's just 38%.

Still a very good rum.

Good smooth rum from Dominican Republic . Aromas of molasses, dried fruit and oak.

Good rum for that price. Nice choice for a everyday evening.

This one is probably the best one barcelo produces, available for 20 euro. Still no top dog, but pretty decent.
