Barcelo Gran Anejo 37,5% (Dominican Republic) 249 SEK

Eye: Golden

Nose: A bit restrained so I better leave it for a couple of minutes to develop. Didn´t do much I´m afraid. Barcelo seem to want to keep to itself. Very gentle tones of candied citrus, just detectable honey (have I lost my sense of smell?) and barely tones of muscovado. I also find something… like… smoked honey glazed ham, but again, just barely. Now it smells like cool rain on dry and dusty gobble stone. It balances the watershed line to go either way of pleasant or unpleasant but I can figure it out so let´s move on and see if there are any flavors for the palate instead.

Mouth: Astringent to begin with but with delicate notes of exotic fruits, birch sap and fur resin. It is light and thin and is chrome-like (polished steel). Not too sweet at all, in fact we could use something to fill up the base/top register. The middle however is quiet nice with its flora flirting but I need more of everything to be impressed. It opens up a bit now but is still in danger of being too insipid to be assessed. Young and awkward with some potential down the line, that´s what I have to say about you today my friend.

Reaction: Well, it is entirely my fault I am disappointed. For unknown reasons I had some hopes this would be more than just above drink ingredient. But I might add, a very fine one. It is a cheap rum compared to Bacardi, Havana Club and Captain Morgan´s equivalents in the same price range so I guess we can announce it a good price/taste-ratio-rum. But still, what the hell I am going to do with that kind of rum, ey?

48p

Price: 249 SEK

Still looking for a DR rum that I would truly appreciate. Better that the Brugals I have tried.

Barcelo Gran Anejo er en basis rom til drinks, kan drikkes ren men temmelig skrap i smagen.

It tastes to much to alcohol. Good mixing rum.
In the end Barcelo is a good rum producer.

It's like Appleton V/x that is harsher with more vanilla and less molasses. Doesnt mix that well with diet coke as you would expect. Still it's okay for it's price.

Harsh and flat, wouldn't enjoy it neat There are far better options even for a mixer.

un rhum pour les cocktails, assurément ! Un léger goût de café et de vanille, qui constitue une belle base pour le Cuba libre notamment ! Pas de gros plus vis à vis du anejo...

A mio gusto un rum che si presta molto per cocktail sopratutto per il cubalibre
Lascia sentori non troppo accentuati di invecchiamento
Il giusto compromesso per un gusto raffinato
