Puerto Rico | Gold | 40% ABV
Ron del Barrilito 2 Star rum is first blended and then aged for at least 3 years. The rum has been produced in Bayamón Puerto Rico since 1804 by the Fernández family, making it the oldest rum manufacturer in Puerto Rico.
In 1942 a single barrel of Ron del Barrilito rum was set aside called the 'Freedom Barrel.' The barrel will be opened in Bayamón town square for all to share when Puerto Rico gains its independence.

I got a bottle on a recommendation and overall I remember it being pretty standard stuff, good for a rum and coke. Need to try it again.
Tried it again neat and dropping my rating... Tastes like nailpolish remover. I mixed some drinks with it the other day and they were terrible. Thought maybe it was a bad recipe, but then I swapped out my normal mixing rum in the recipe and suddenly it was magic.
Maybe they call it 2 star for a reason...
Turned on to this one when it was recommended by bartender at resort in PR. Better than well, but nothing special either. Good in mojitos. Somewhat tough to find in the states in my area, but I see it on occasion and have bought it locally
Good solid rum but there are defenetly better options out there. Not my choice to sip.
While I prefer the 3 star, I also very much enjoy Barrilito 2 star.
Nice oak and light molasses flavors with other subtle notes as well.
A little closer to a sweet bourbon profile than some other rums.
Mixes well too.
Belle découverte !
J’y ai goutté à l’occasion d’une invitation pour un souper. Explosion d’épices dès la première gorgée. Je l’ai bu straight, il est doux, très expressif, et passe très bien comme un rhum de tous les jours.
Not a sipper per se, but this is a nice rum for mixing and an interesting upgrade over typical mixing rums. It is neutral and not sweet with some very subtle/faint hints of vanilla.
Tasted at Laka Lono July 24, 2022 alongside the Three star/Eight year
This rum is not as sweet as the Three star/Eight year, which is aged longer.
Serving suggestion: pair with lime, perhaps as a Rickey.
A big drop from the 3 star. It goes exceptionally well with some coke though
Has a funky tone with some white sugar and sweet corn.

Unfortunately, this rum is harsh, sharp and unbalanced. Clearly a step behind other rums from Puerto Rico
