Ron / Old Barco de Cargas

On the sweet and gentle side, this rum splits opinion: beginners may appreciate its mild, honeyed profile, but some seasoned drinkers note it lacks complexity. One to try if you enjoy a soft, vanilla-forward sipper.

Several in the RumX community found it "Sehr süß. Mir persönlich fehlen fruchtige Noten" (@RumX user), while others like @Pongo called it a "Sehr runder, aromenstarker Rum." Notes of mildness and gentle spice are commonly mentioned, and it's often praised as approachable for beginners, though complexity and fruit are generally said to be lacking.

    "At the price this rum comes at it's a really decent rum actually. The nose is heavy with spices and a touch of fruits and nuts. The palate is sweet with spices and frimuity followed by a gentle touch of oak, caramel and chocolate. The finish is medium long and sweet with spices. A very good beginners rum that I usually bring to tastings for beginners and it's usually a hit. "
