Edmundo B. Fernandez Ron del Barrilito Superior Especial 3 Stars

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.

    "06.12.2024 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Erstmal vielen Dank an Artur für die extreme Mühe und dass du teilweise so alte Rums überhaupt teilst. Die Rums selber waren jetzt bis auf ein paar wenige Ausnahmen nicht wirklich der Knaller, ABER mir hat es trotzdem sehr gut gefallen, da man solche Rums überhaupt nicht mehr ins Glas bekommt als Normalsterblicher und dieses ganze Hintergrundwissen das Artur geteilt hat finde ich wahnsinnig interessant. Da ziehe ich wirklich den Hut davor. Dicker Respekt!"

    "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."

    "Arturs Puerto Rico Tasting, danke für die tolle Übersicht und Historie :-) Irgendwie unstimmig, an der Nase noch die typischen snften Vanille Noten, dNn wird es aber leicht bitter und rauchig. Funktioniert für mich irgendiwe nicht"

    "05.2024 Does really well in the blender, gives pleasantly subtle flavors without dominating the drink 06.2023 Fruity, honey-sweet nose, which unfortunately evaporates relatively quickly. The palate is strong, woody and astringent with a long, warm finish. I prefer to enjoy it in mixers rather than neat."
