    How does this rum taste?

    Ron Barceló Gran Añejo Dark Series is a Dominican rum crafted with precision at the Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos distillery. Distilled from molasses using a column still, it aged for six years, achieving a 37.5% ABV. This rum's aroma layers caramel, vanilla, chocolate, and butterscotch sweetness, while its flavor emphasizes chocolate, caramel, dried fruit, and nutty wood notes. Users appreciate its smooth, sweet profile, noting it's a good value and likening it to more renowned spirits. Yet, some comment on its light body and lack of complexity, suggesting a higher ABV might enhance its richness.

    Mainly sweet and caramelly and chocolaty. Not overly sweet, but it has definitely been helped here. Has something of chocolate cookies, but is unfortunately also very thin. 40-42% would have been better here. Otherwise there is not much complexity to be found here.

    A nice upgrade compared to the Barcelo Gran Anejo. A lot richer in taste. Nice roasted flavors from the cask. Medium finish with caramel.

    Rather sweet. Mostly caramel, vanilla and butterscotch vibes. Pretty different from other Barcelo rums for that price. Not very complex, but still interesting. A bit like Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva.

    I thought I'd give this a shot for 22€ to see how this would be if I had this as a daily rum. I think it is quite ok. The fact that the abv is so low is not an issue. It has a nice rounded mouthfeel with tons of roasted nuts and oaky notes. Lovely.
