Ron Del Barrilito Five Stars Rum is an exceedingly rare and exclusive blend, representing the pinnacle of Puerto Rican rum making. This one-time production is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Fernández family, who have been crafting exceptional rums at Hacienda Santa Ana since 1880. This particular offering is an extraordinary assemblage of aged rums, some matured for up to 35 years in certified Spanish white oak barrels that once held Oloroso sherry from Jerez, Spain. This extended aging in sherry-seasoned wood imparts a unique depth and complexity to the spirit. Reflecting the brand's unwavering commitment to tradition, each batch remains meticulously handcrafted using the same time-honored methods dating back over a century. This includes their ancient maceration process, where a select portion of the rum is infused with a proprietary blend of dried fruits and spices before aging, contributing to its characteristic flavor profile.
Bottled at 43% ABV, this full-bodied rum reveals a strong wood backbone complemented by inviting aromas of ripe plums, sweet bananas, toasted almonds, rich vanilla, and caramelized sugar cane. On the palate, it is exceptionally smooth, offering a natural sweetness and a lingering smoky wood finish. True to their heritage, Ron Del Barrilito uses no artificial flavorings, added sugars, or caramel coloring; its deep amber hue is achieved naturally through the long aging process, utilizing only sustainably harvested rainwater. This remarkable rum is presented in a commemorative, handmade wooden case, making it a prized possession for any discerning collector or a truly special indulgence.
