Very well presented in a nice bottle, with a cork that you really have to tug out.
It’s a dark amber, almost red at times colour, with good legs in the glass.
Warming, smokey, leather and a decent amount of oak come through, hardly any burn and a taste that lingers, though not to long. Naturally sweet, one to be enjoyed neat.
£32 from Amazon, priced about right I would say.
Enjoy, graham.

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

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

Un des rhum les plus doux a la gorge que j'ai jamais goûté. Merci on mon frère qui ma fait découvrir cette bouteille. Bon rapport qualité prix. Suffisamment complexe avec une saveur de miel. On peut le classer au top.

Nice taste, great color, but lacked the kick I was expecting from Barcelo.

This is a well balanced dry type.
In the glass its a bit dark indicating you should find choklare/lether etc but I dont. What my nose can find is something I can't put in word. Depending on your abilities when it comes to tating an putting words to Im sure some can. There is a twist a like mynt or possibly lemon grass - still it aint that...
In mouth I find it dry and balanced. Not burning but at the same time not smooth either - 38% trick?
After taste have chest nut in it - great!
At this price defenitely an 8. Have a sip as often you like - you can afford it.
(Haven't tried it as a blend or w ice)

Great sip rum. Strong and dry, first sip can be a little bit intimidating but you get use to it. Just the right balance of sweetness. One of my favourite sip rum.

Always nice to have a drink of it. Various notes of fruit, chocolate, cinnamon. Absolutely no disappointment but not as good as one expects with 10 years time in casks.
