Normally I don’t expect much from a screw-top rum, but there are exceptions. Gosling’s Black Seal comes to mind, and now I have Ron del Barrilito Three Star to consider as well.
Heady, smoky, yet surprisingly smooth, Ron del Barrilito makes for a preciously rare combination of subtleties. It gently sweeps along the tongue, and is followed by musky caramels that gently warm as they pass down your throat. Heavy and comforting, it’s like having Blackbeard himself sing you to sleep (and discovering that, despite all odds, the brute actually carries a tune rather well.)
Ron del Barrilito is my first Puerto Rican rum, and I pray it won’t be my last. A sincere “thanks ‘n fair winds” to Linda Fuentes for seeing a bottle my way!

True point, Bobo – and good catch. When I wrote this review more than six years ago I didn’t really acknowledge the Bacardis of the world as being “actual” rum, and therefore literally didn’t even think of them when thinking about Puerto Rico.
I was at a real nice resort in Puerto Rico and fell in love with Ron del Barrilito rum.
I wish I could find a way to get it to denver at a reasonable price!
