Ron del Barrilito - 3 Etoiles - Superior Especial - Puerto Rican Rum - 43%
Founded in 1880 in Bayamón (Puerto Rico), Ron del Barrilito is the island’s oldest handcrafted rum still in production. Remaining faithful to its traditional methods for over a century, the house crafts its rums from local molasses, matured in American white oak casks that previously held sherry. This distinctive aging process imparts the richness and complexity that built its reputation, making Ron del Barrilito a true Caribbean institution.
Ron del Barrilito 3 Stars is a blend of rums aged between 6 and 10 years in sherry casks. Bottled at 43%, it stands out for its generous yet elegant style, rooted in Puerto Rican tradition while offering remarkable aromatic depth. Perfectly balanced between smoothness, roundness, and complexity, it is considered one of the crown jewels of the range.
Its mahogany hue with copper highlights reveals maturity. The nose opens with intense aromas of dried fruits, plum, fig, and date, enriched by notes of vanilla, blond tobacco, and nutmeg. On the palate, the texture is broad and silky, with flavors of caramel, honey, and toasted oak, lifted by a delicate spicy touch. The long, velvety finish lingers with nuances of candied fruits and cocoa. A refined, harmonious rum, ideal neat, on the rocks, or paired with a fine cigar.
