    "Retasting and leaving the original note 😊 This is a pretty reasonable rum that could do well for deserts in my mind. The nose starts out with sweet caramel and fruits followed with vanilla and light wood. Tha palate is lightly dry with fruit, caramel and spices. The lightly dry palate also serves up ginger nuts and tobacco with some oak. The finish is medium long with oak and raisin followed by licorice and some tobacco. Price to quality is kind of OK thinking that this is an anniversary release."

    "Guter Rum für Anfänger ohne große Komplexität. Vanille, Kaffee, etwa Holz."

    "Überraschend trockener und leckerer Barcelo und eine super schöne Farbe! Tolle Nase nach Kokosnuss, Zimt, Tabak und Dörrpflaumen. Am Gaumen kommt dann Ingwer, Honig, etwas frische Zitrusfrüchte, leicht nussig und würzig, dazu Dörrpflaume und Rosine und wieder Tabak, sowie Zartbitterschokolade. Insgesamt verblüffend komplex und vollmundig, wirkt ziemlich sicher auch ungezuckert. Positive Überraschung."

    "The best Barcelo i tried so far. Nice caramel flavors with a touch of wood and some raisins. Maybe even a bit of coffee in the background. Very nice."
