Tasting notes: the nose shows a lot of wood carried on an astringent and bright fruity base. Lemon and orange peels combine with ripe cantaloupe but there is also ample bottom end represented by caramel toffee and vanilla. The rum enters with a goodly amount of spice reminiscent of red and black pepper backed by cinnamon and nutmeg. The woodiness is very apparent and the palate is soon coated in bitter tannins. On subsequent sips the citrus peels noted on nosing reappear in the form of grapefruit and finally the bakery is revisited as the toffee and caramel return. The finish is bitter and quite dry with a strong impression of boise felt. All in all the barrilito 3 star is a solid mixing rum but the experience is spoiled by knowing its questionable origins. That said it makes a fine planter’s punch. 43% abv 86 proof
