Anyone building a home bar on a budget or mixing rum-and-cola will get the most out of this one. Light caramel, coffee, vanilla and toffee, with a woody edge and alcohol that isn't fully tucked away. Neat it's thin and a bit hot; most members reach for it as a mixer. A few find it pleasant enough chilled, but nobody's calling it a sipper.

Review by Rumpalumpa
Got it for mixing with cola and it convinced me quite okay. Compared to the alternatives here in Spain, which are also a bit cheaper, like Negrita, definitely better. Moderately alcoholic and pleasant sweet barrel aromas.
Review by Kelvin Peeters
Good for mixing
Review by TheJackDrop
What can you expect from a Chupito shot of rum at a Flamenco competition in Seville? I've got the answer: not much! A vague smell of caramel, coffee, a few spices behind some poorly integrated alcohol and a liquid/watery appearance. In short, it was all about respecting tradition.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
Very middle of the road. None offensive. Ideal for a bar that need to hit price points but I'd avoid for the home bar.
Review by nick_nick1
Quite sharp... can be drunk. But rather something for mixing.
Review by Jack M
Had it with coke and it is fairly pleasant. Had it neat to get a better feel for the rum and it is ok. Fairly sweet with notes of caramel and toffee but not excessively so. There are also wood, dried dates and dark chocolate notes which are nice.
Review by tdearing476
Found this one during a college dorm clean out and found it to be a decent rum for the price. Chilled it was smooth with no after bite. But also a great mixer

Review by cedric van hese
The taste only reveals itself when mixed with a soft drink.
Review by Pawel Furman
Quite pleasant, you can even sip it solo. Not very complex but pleasant. Delicate sweetness, caramel, chocolate, mocha coffee, vanilla notes. Short but pleasant finish, coffee, vanilla and peppery notes. Great for drinks.
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
The sweetness that it promises on the nose does not translate to the taste. I would not recommend this as a sipping rum and the palate is mostly alcoholic, oily and woody.
Review by MiKL Michael
To test in cocktail.
Review by El Brettford Esq.
Powerful muted fume smell, honestly reminded me of a paint thinner at first sniff I once used, I did not find it pleasurable. Taste will be fine with a flavoured mix, but unremarkable on its own.
Review by Anonymous
Cocktail rum. Very little flavor on the palate except for its spicy side.
Review by jazz8751
Ok for mixing. Burns when drinking straight. Entry level Barcelo.
Review by Shtafermo Shtafermo
Avarege. Not great. Not bad. For the price, being one of the cheapest around, is fairly ok. Typical vanilla, caramel, with chocolate hints... Good to have around for those days to sip with friends and no need for expensive bootle.
Review by Abrahan Reyes
Not much to look into it as a sipper, but get's the job done as a mixer.

With cola, no way
