Review by Portman
Much more pleasing than the 30-year edition. Beautiful caramel notes, some vanilla, dark dried fruit, hardly any wood. Only the alcohol is a little dominant in the aftertaste, but really only very briefly. I like it very much.
Review by Werner10
The best Barcelo i tried so far. Nice caramel flavors with a touch of wood and some raisins. Maybe even a bit of coffee in the background. Very nice.
Review by Johannes
Guter Rum für Anfänger ohne große Komplexität. Vanille, Kaffee, etwa Holz.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Surprisingly dry and tasty Barcelo and a super nice color! Great nose of coconut, cinnamon, tobacco and prunes. On the palate there is ginger, honey, some fresh citrus fruit, slightly nutty and spicy, plus prunes and raisins and again tobacco, as well as dark chocolate. All in all, amazingly complex and full-bodied, it is quite certain to be unsweetened. A positive surprise.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Retasting and leaving the original note 😊 This is a pretty reasonable rum that could do well for deserts in my mind. The nose starts out with sweet caramel and fruits followed with vanilla and light wood. Tha palate is lightly dry with fruit, caramel and spices. The lightly dry palate also serves up ginger nuts and tobacco with some oak. The finish is medium long with oak and raisin followed by licorice and some tobacco. Price to quality is kind of OK thinking that this is an anniversary release.
