Popular Dominican Republic brand Ron Barceló is now distilled by Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos. They use 100% sugar cane juice from the country for their distillation. The operation also prides itself on its efficiency and eco-friendly practices. Barceló does their aging in used American bourbon barrels, vertically stacked, which are scraped and re-charred in between uses. This review was done with their 37.5% abv bottling which is sold around the world. In the US, the minimum bottling must be 40% abv.

Tasting Notes

"The Añejo offers a roasty, caramel nose, with brown sugar and hints of honey. The palate is quite earthy, with mineral, grassy and vegetal notes, a clear hogo-funkiness, and a small touch of smoke and oak. The finish is short and heavier on the sweet side, coming on a bit overly strong with lasting notes of butterscotch and brown sugar."
