Ron Barcelo Gran Anejo Aged Rum

Gran Añejo is the middle of Barceló's range — the step between the mixing Añejo and the flagship Imperial. Ron Barceló was founded in 1930 by Julián Barceló in Santo Domingo, and it's now the most exported Dominican rum on earth, sold in more than 80 countries, and one of only 3% of rum producers worldwide that grows its own cane. Gran Añejo is a blend of Dominican molasses rums, column-distilled and aged two to six years in casks that previously held American whiskey, in the tropical heat that pushes soft, sweet flavors forward, bottled at 37.5% ABV in the US and elsewhere; check your label. Difford's found a strong golden-syrup nose with mandarin zest and a wonderfully buttery palate, with the honest caveat that it lacks complexity and punch at the lower proof. RumX describes the Barceló house style — caramel, vanilla, toffee, and dried fruit almost everywhere — and places Gran Añejo as the step up from the Añejo toward the Imperial sweet spot. Expect a golden pour with a nose of caramel, vanilla, honey, and orange peel, opening into a smooth, buttery, gently sweet palate with light oak and a short, easy finish. Honest note: it's a soft, low-proof Dominican column rum built for mixing and easy sipping — the Imperial is where the house gets serious. For a Cuba Libre worth the name, a Rum and Coke, a Mojito, a Planter's Punch, or over ice with lime, it's the Dominicans' everyday gold.
