Ron del Barrilito Three Star Rum Review
Aged six to 10 years in former Oloroso sherry casks, this Puerto Rican staple employs a maceration technique where a portion of the distillate is infused with dried fruits and spices prior to aging. The result is a rounded, approachable profile that leans classic in style. While not overly complex, it shows enough character to bring personality to cocktails, and is a textbook example of molasses-based rum.
