Ron del Barrilito Aged Rum Two Stars Calidad Extra 86 Proof 750ml

Ron del Barrilito · Two Stars · Calidad Extra · Aged Rum · Puerto Rico · 750ml

Ron del Barrilito is Puerto Rico's most storied rum — a family-made spirit produced at the Hacienda Santa Ana in Bayamón, where the Fernandez family has been aging rum in small oak barrels since 1880. Unlike the large industrial producers that dominate the Caribbean rum category, Ron del Barrilito is made in tiny quantities using traditional methods: aged for a minimum of three years in ex-Oloroso sherry casks, bottled by hand, and released without chill filtration or artificial coloring. The Two Stars “Calidad Extra” is the entry point into the Barrilito range — and it is already a rum of remarkable character and complexity. At $31.99, this is one of the most authentic and underappreciated spirits in the category.

Natural bronze in the glass with a warm, inviting nose of dried plum, almond, apricot, and vanilla, layered with subtle smoky and woody notes from the sherry cask aging. On the palate: light-to-medium bodied and beautifully balanced, with caramelized fruit, sugar cane sweetness, and a delicate, lasting oak finish that lingers long after the glass is empty. Exceptional neat or on the rocks; also outstanding in a classic rum cocktail — a Daiquiri, Old Fashioned, or simply with a splash of soda water.
