Barcelo Gran Anejo

N- At underwhelming 37.5%, seriously not much to expect. Whispers of ripe sweet tropical fruit, metallic, mineral and huge scents of cardboard, brown sugar, coconut candy, get better as it get on but cloudy and superficial, though nothing actually unpleasant, it just ....diluted. (80/17)

P- Welcoming sweet herbs notes, sugary with layer of toasted oak with tinge of thin spice and white raisins. (82/17)

F- Short, watery thin for casual sip on rock or a perfecto rum martini. Dusty, semi dry. (80/17)

Body/Balance- 80/17

This one is a perfect every day rom. Works fine for sipping and for cocktails.

Bit harsh, better to have it on ice or mix it. Can be an upgrade from havana3 or bacardi carta

It’s an honest aged molasses rhum, quite equilibrated: not very harsh in the aftertaste and with a good level of sweetness. With cola, it gives you the perfect Cubata.

Cheap rum but little sweet, smooth, little to strong, sharp aftertaste.

From the moment you open the bottle is noticiable its strong aroma that caracterizes the caribbean spirits. Not on the rocks, but good for mixers.

Nice in a coke but nothing stands out. I like to mix it with a coke and even then this does not stand out

Very smooth and very nice. I would 100% recommend it to someone who is new to rum to taste a better rum and I think it's important to keep this one in mind when talking about good rums. But I do think that is where it should stay. I do not think it is one of the best rums around but it is VERY far away from the worst.

To someone who is new to rum, do try this!

La presentación de la botella no me pareció la más adecuada, a la apertura el olfato que confiere el ron es dulce y con ligeras notas de vainilla.
Al degustarlo el sabor a alcohol es intenso y el final deja un sabor dulce agradable.
Definitivamente por el precio un buen Ron para combinar con cola o algo más.

Nice taste but not the smoothest, slight burn even with mixture
