Edmundo B. Fernandez Ron del Barrilito Superior Especial 3 Stars
Balanced, fruity and caramel-led with nutty undertones—easily sipped, gently spiced, and mellow.
Expect inviting aromas of caramel, spicy wood, and nutty raisin, leading into a palate layered with dried fruit, coffee, orange, and a pleasant hint of roasted nuts. RumX members note its "very fruit forward… accented with barrel notes and caramel" (Rick Meyer), with many enjoying its smooth balance, though several feel it's "fine for the most part" but "not particularly complex" (Peter Bosel). The rum wins points for fruity richness and a mild, approachable nature, but common critiques mention a "short finish," "lighter body," and some find it "a bit too expensive for the experience provided." For anyone after an easy sipper or a versatile mixer, this is a historic rum that offers classic, nuanced flavors without overwhelming.

Tasting of Artur's Puerto Rico rums. A nose of apple, vegetal, bitterness, ferment and varnish. Young wood on the palate, followed by sweetness, pecan and sherry. The finish is short, with wood and vegetal.
06.12.2024 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting First of all, many thanks to Artur for the extreme effort and for sharing such old rums at all. Apart from a few exceptions, the rums themselves weren't really that great, BUT I still really enjoyed it, because you don't get to taste rums like this any more as a normal mortal and I find all this background knowledge that Artur shared incredibly interesting. I really take my hat off to him. Big respect!
