Ron / Old Barco de Cargas
Most praise its sweetness, vanilla and price as a perfect starter. Critics find it cloying, one-dimensional and lacking fruit or complexity. Consensus: simple, very sweet beginner rum, not for dry-palate fans.
Those who prefer smooth, very sweet sippers and want an easy, low-ABV introduction to rum or a crowd-pleasing bottle for casual tastings.

How does this rum taste?
Ultra-sweet vanilla starter rum
If you like liqueur-like, sweet vanilla rums and are just starting out, this will feel comfy. If you already enjoy dry, complex bottles, you’ll likely find it too simple and sugary.
Anyone avoiding added sugar, fans of dry or complex rums, and drinkers sensitive to cloying sweetness.
