About this bottle
Miguel Barceló developed this celebratory blend, which matures for a decade in former American bourbon casks. It is then transferred to Chateau D’Yquem barrels for an additional two years of aging. The company reserves a modest quantity of this product for global distribution each year.

This is the kind of rum you'd battle through a horde of velociraptors to reach the distillery for. They'd guard it fiercely, so don't shy away from taking them down to savor this elixir. Abundant brown sugar, a touch of oak, and a sweet finish that fades appropriately without lingering too long.
Rated 100 points. This rum is a true masterpiece. The 50-year anniversary edition boasts an uncommon profile, featuring sage, thyme, and mint, with sweeter notes of persimmon in the background. It's a work of art.
Outstanding. Features notes of vanilla, caramel, toffee, and raisins. It has a potent aroma and is very mellow. I wish Brugal Siglo de Oro were available in the US.
If you enjoy Barceló, this is definitely the top one; you need to let it rest in the glass for a while so its flavors emerge.
A highly complex rum with notes of tobacco, dried and roasted fruits, and some coffee undertones. It leaves a prolonged aftertaste.
