How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy its dry, caramel‑and‑fruit profile and see it as the best Barceló so far. Critics find it not complex enough and overpriced. Consensus: tasty, approachable, but not a game changer.
If you like softer Latin-style rums but want something drier and a bit more grown-up, this is a comfortable next step without jumping into high-ester or high-ABV territory.
Funk hunters, cask‑strength fans, or value-focused buyers expecting high complexity or big intensity; also not ideal if you only like very sweet, heavily dosed rums.

Much more pleasing than the 30-year edition. Beautiful caramel notes, some vanilla, dark dried fruit, hardly any wood. Only the alcohol is a little dominant in the aftertaste, but really only very briefly. I like it very much.
The best Barcelo i tried so far. Nice caramel flavors with a touch of wood and some raisins. Maybe even a bit of coffee in the background. Very nice.
Guter Rum für Anfänger ohne große Komplexität. Vanille, Kaffee, etwa Holz.
Surprisingly dry and tasty Barcelo and a super nice color! Great nose of coconut, cinnamon, tobacco and prunes. On the palate there is ginger, honey, some fresh citrus fruit, slightly nutty and spicy, plus prunes and raisins and again tobacco, as well as dark chocolate. All in all, amazingly complex and full-bodied, it is quite certain to be unsweetened. A positive surprise.
