A.F.D. Ron Barceló Dorado Añejado
On its own it drinks thin and watery — several tasters basically called it "like too much water." There's caramel, light vanilla, a touch of oak and a little nail-polish edge, but it never builds much body or depth. At 37.5%, it's a quiet column-still sipper that works better stretched over ice or in cola than studied neat.
- Light caramel-vanilla
- Easy, low heat
- Sweetness feels natural

How does A.F.D. Ron Barceló Dorado Añejado taste?
Aggregated from 19 community reviews.
Thin, watery caramel rum for mixing Most people find it watered-down and flat, with mild caramel and oak that never come together. A few say the sweetness reads natural rather than fake, but it's a low-intensity, mixing-grade pour.

Review by Skyfly
What can I say: I approached the rum without any expectations and was not disappointed. Better than many comparable products. Above all, the sweetness is not purely artificial. Wood flavors well pronounced, but still tastes watered down.
Review by Gregor
Like too much water. The flavors are inharmonious with each other. Unfortunately not recommended at all
Review by Mateusz
Alcohol very noticeable lain both aroma and taste. Some green bananas and toffi taste, however intensity and complexity is at low level.
Review by Mickael Duval
Aucun goût.... On dirais de l eau....
Review by Solidfunk
Mostly caramel. Light vanilla and a hint of oak. Light burn, some nail polish but light. Smooth enough.

"Just over £17 I paid for this. So it wasn't the biggest mistake I ever made and it fleshes out the reviews for this brand. It's a bit like football sticker collecting - its nice to have the full set. Unlikely I'll ever complete the Ron Barceló "page" as some..."Read full review →
