Ron Barcelo Anejo Rum (750ml)
Ron Barceló was founded by Julian Barceló, a Spanish émigré born in Mallorca. He founded the company in 1930 under the name Barceló & Co in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, having arrived in the country in 1929. It did not take long for the Barcelo brand to became an essential reference amongst local rum brands, growing into one of the biggest and most prestigious Dominican Companies.
During the 1980s, Ron Barceló became the most popular rum in the Dominican Republic. Exports grew and the company began distribution outside of the Caribbean and America. In 1992, the company began an international campaign and, by 1994, Ron Barceló was exported to over 10 countries, with Spain as its biggest consumer. It's currently exported to over 50 countries and the range has just arrived in Australia.
Tasting note: Beautiful polished copper. Attractive scents of dried coconut, vanilla slice, and dilute golden syrup. Creamy yet dry; middle weighted palate features pronounced vanillas with hints of roasted nuts. Finish is engagingly spicy adding length and depth. Ends with the vanilla / caramel theme playing out with reasonable length. 37.5% Alc./Vol.
