Opinion lands in the middle here — most tasters find it pleasant but a bit flat, and a few outright underwhelmed. Expect raisins, dried fruit, pecan, caramel and coffee, with a spicy, slightly astringent wood edge. The nose can fade fast, and several felt it never fully "worked" neat. A couple call it a good cocktail rum.
The community says- Raisin and pecan

How does Edmundo B. Fernandez Ron del Barrilito Superior Especial 3 Stars taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Nutty, dried-fruit Puerto Rican, a touch flat Mid-scoring and a little polarizing: nice dried-fruit and nutty notes, but many find it thin, muted, or short. Fine sipper, better still in a Cuba libre or daiquiri.

Ziemlich nah am kubanischen Stil mit angenehmen warmen Eiche/Holz/Fass Noten, etwas Tabak und Kaffee, keine Frucht aber insbesondere keine Bitterkeit. Als Fan von Havana Club 7 / 15 gefällt mir der sehr gut! Drinks: - Pur: 4/5 - Rum Cola: 4.5/5

Neither bad nor good. Leaves a neutral impression on me.
Review by LukaŽiga
7,2:On the nose, the first impression we get is quite balanced with dried fruits like raisins, roasted wood notes like caramel and nuts, spicy and a little rubber. 6,7:On the palate, the attack is pleasant with dried fruits, banana, orange and smoky, burnt roasted wood notes like caramel, nuts, chocolate, coffee, a but spicy, as the fruits become candied. 6,7:The finish is long with similar notes as on the palate, quite round and balanced.

06.12.2024 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting First of all, many thanks to Artur for the extreme effort and for sharing such old rums at all. Apart from a few exceptions, the rums themselves weren't really that great, BUT I still really enjoyed it, because you don't get to taste rums like this any more as a normal mortal and I find all this background knowledge that Artur shared incredibly interesting. I really take my hat off to him. Big respect!
Review by cigares
Tasting of Artur's Puerto Rico rums. A nose of apple, vegetal, bitterness, ferment and varnish. Young wood on the palate, followed by sweetness, pecan and sherry. The finish is short, with wood and vegetal.
Review by abaker-rum
This rum has a pretty muted nose, subtly giving off wood, roasted nuts, caramel, and baking spices. I find the palate quite pleasant with nuttiness, caramel, and chocolate leading the way while balanced with wood and spices. The finish is medium in length with the palate notes carrying through
Review by Mirco
Rum No. 7 Rauchig, Holzig, mit etwas Frucht (Rosinen und Banane) der bisherige Gewinner aus 1-7. Vielen Dank Artur für diese Mega-Split Reise durch Rums aus Puerto Rico. Danke auch für die Arbeit die du für uns immer wieder auf dich nimmst und alte Flaschen für uns möglich machst! 😊
Review by Johannes
The liquid history of Puerto Rico - many thanks to Artur for sharing! Slightly musty, rather flat.
Review by DomM
Puerto Rico Set Nr. 7: On the nose this is an outliner from the lineup so far. Very dense on the nose, with lots of (continental) fruits like apricots and pears as well as raisins. Deviates from the lighter style contenders so far. Pretty nice on the palate as well. Here we are mingling in Guyana column territory. Dark caramel, raisins and dried fruits as well as coffee. While the edges are pretty rough, this one is definitely the best one so far. Cheers to Artur for curating this set!
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
05.2024 Does really well in the blender, gives pleasantly subtle flavors without dominating the drink 06.2023 Fruity, honey-sweet nose, which unfortunately evaporates relatively quickly. The palate is strong, woody and astringent with a long, warm finish. I prefer to enjoy it in mixers rather than neat.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Basically not a bad rum but 50€ is just absolutely excessive for what is delivered. I can also get 3 bottles of brugal Anejo or Havana especial and get more for my money... I can't understand the high ratings 😅
Review by Martin Spooner
An der Nase sehr rosinige Noten. Auch eine würzige note von karamellil. An der Nase durchaus ansprechens. Am Gaumen etwas flach. Es fehlt etwas an Ausdruck. Gott sei Dank ist er nicht zu süß. Am Cuba libre sicher machbar
Review by w00tAN
23.02.25 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Danke an Artur für die tolle Gelegenheit und Mühe. Nase gebrannter Zucker, Vanille. Im Mund mild, leicht würzig, süß mit kurzem bis mittellangem Abgang
Review by Alexander Rasch
Meine RumRatings Review von vor 6 Jahren: Nach dem ersten Aufschrauben der Flasche kommt erst einmal der Schock. Scharfe Alkoholnoten irritieren. Es wird schnell klar das der Rum atmen muss. Nach 30min gibt sich der Rum dann verändert. Man kann Noten von Vanille, Karamel, Eichenholz und Rauch wahrnehmen. Im Mund ist der Rum lebendig. Eckig und direkt gibt er viele Fass und- Rauchnoten ab. Eine trockene Süße mit Karamel. Vanille Noten runden den Geschmack ab. Der Rum ist Scharf und muss bewusst getrunken und genossen werden. Der Nachklang ist mittellang rauchig mit Holznoten. Der Rum wird mit jedem Einschenken besser. Der Rum muss atmen und benötigt Zeit. Viel Holz und Rauchnoten machen ihn würzig. Es ist kein milder Rum. Aber es macht Spaß sich mit ihm auseinander zu setzen und ihn verstehen zu lernen. Es ist allerdings ein Bacardi. So viel muss gesagt sein. Hier passt sogar irgendwie der Drehverschluss.
Review by Morgan Garet
As expected, a light ron with no length and no very pronounced aroma. Some tobacco and citrus notes on the finish.
Review by Alex1981
Arturs Puerto Rico Tasting, thanks for the great overview and history :-) Somehow inconsistent, on the nose still the typical soft vanilla notes, then it becomes slightly bitter and smoky. Doesn't work for me somehow.
Review by Rick Meyer
Very fruit forward … accented with barrel notes and caramel. Tasty!
Review by Pandemonia
Not as spiced as feared, though certainly spiced. And that's about all my inexperienced palate can extract from this rum. It's spicy and actually pretty good. The right kind of warm. One-note and one-dimensional, not very engaging and quickly uninteresting. But sometimes you don't need unique or evolving. I think this rum certainly can fulfill a function. I bet this is rather sessionable. Probably goo for beginners. Probably goes good with snacks or chocolate or even some cheese perhaps as well? Not elegant or exquisite, but almost a bit decadent in a home alone on the couch with a shitty movie kind of way. Will have to revisit this in the future. I think it can grow on me.
Review by ManuelP
Super tasty. Direction of whiskey then some nice rum surprise and rusticity. Tastes with Brian
Review by Solidfunk
Florals and some vanilla. I remember loving this when I first tried it like 10 years ago. A little citrus. Maybe some light tobacco. Red amber pour.

Curry leaves, good cocktail rum
Review by Skyfly
The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting No. 7 - the first rum that brings that certain something and more, as well as stronger aromas. You find nut, wood, coffee and the typical vanilla/caramel here.
Review by Franzi
In the tasting series actually the first really acceptable one. Not particularly great, also quite flat, but at least a few nice notes. Some dried fruit and pleasant sweetness.
Review by Peter Bosel
This is fine for the most part. A bit off-putting finish. I don't enjoy it was much as others seem to.

This odd little distillery produces an intersting rum that really is too expensive. some pecan adds to the normal PR nose and some orange with some rose at the finish. Daiquiri: balanced, deep and dark, orangeat. Not really tasting of an Daiquiri but a nice drink. 4/5 stars
