Ron Del Barrilito 3 Star

One sip - Jesus Willy Christ - You could embrace the whole world.
What a tast! Simply the Best

It's harsh and not easy to drink by itself. Extra two points for an artisanal bottle.

This rum is not me in any way. The colour is light brown, the smell so and so, the taste gave me nothing, yet the aftertaste a little more live. But all in all, no thanks.

This rum has a spicy taste, with some smoke taste and I sense the hint of caramel. After delivery it seems to have a warm finish.. Not to shabby..

This is a particular Rum ! it seems more bitter than a rum.
Strong and intense smell.
The flavor is spicy and slightly bitter because caramel is very present, I suppose added in barrel.

It was closer to rubbing alcohol than rum will never willingly buy it again

I really wanted to like this rum, after all the hype. I could not get past the strange taste. Maybe it was the smokiness. It was somewhat harsh and not smooth enough for me.

A friend of mine mailed me a bottle brought back from his visit to Puerto Rico. It instantly ranks up there with my favorites. A distinctly different taste, smooth, strong, with something extra special, surely a hint of honey. Makes you wonder if islanders aren't keeping the best stuff for themselves, because from the looks of it, not easy to find state side! Once produced inside a windmill tower used to extract the juice from the sugar canes on the outskirts of Bayamon, today the office. In 1942, a single barrel, which is stored in the "cellar", was put aside with orders that it should only be opened when Puerto Rico becomes a free and independent nation.

I found this bottle in Lexington. It's comparable to any of the mid level rums from Puerto Rico, including Barcardi 8 and Don Q Anejo. A great taste and not too overpowering.

This is a decent rum but I find most PR rums lacking in refinement
