Review by Kuba Boháč
Sweeter, but actually quite nice. A nice caramel finish. I wouldn't be ashamed to pour it for a visitor :)
Review by ZLako98
I thought I'd give this a shot for 22€ to see how this would be if I had this as a daily rum. I think it is quite ok. The fact that the abv is so low is not an issue. It has a nice rounded mouthfeel with tons of roasted nuts and oaky notes. Lovely.
Review by alexbool
Rather sweet. Mostly caramel, vanilla and butterscotch vibes. Pretty different from other Barcelo rums for that price. Not very complex, but still interesting. A bit like Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva.
Review by Werner10
A nice upgrade compared to the Barcelo Gran Anejo. A lot richer in taste. Nice roasted flavors from the cask. Medium finish with caramel.
Review by Jindrich Strobl
A bit too soft taste for me. Not bad but nothing really impressive.
Review by Michal Flamik
Dobrý, jemný, ale nie zaujímavý
Review by Richard Krupa
A pleasant surprise compared to other Barcelo rums, sweet, I taste vanilla, caramel and chocolate
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Mainly sweet and caramelly and chocolaty. Not overly sweet, but it has definitely been helped here. Has something of chocolate cookies, but is unfortunately also very thin. 40-42% would have been better here. Otherwise there is not much complexity to be found here.
