Best treated as a mixer rather than a sipper. On its own it drinks thin and watery — several tasters basically called it water — with caramel, light vanilla and a bit of oak up front, plus a touch of nail polish. The alcohol shows through and the flavors don't quite hang together. Sweetened, low-strength, and short on the intensity you'd want neat.
The community says- Cheap mixer
- But: High sugar content
- But: Watery, diluted

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 Mickael Duval
No taste.... It tastes like water....
Review by Solidfunk
Mostly caramel. Light vanilla and a hint of oak. Light burn, some nail polish but light. Smooth enough.
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.

Read full review →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...
