Ron Barceló Gran Añejo is a premium Dominican rum crafted from a meticulous blend of the finest rums, aged for up to six years in ex-bourbon oak barrels. It features an inviting amber color, an aroma with hints of chocolate and vanilla, and a flavor profile that includes subtle notes of caramelized nuts with a semi-dry body, culminating in a finish reminiscent of nut butter and caramel that gently fades.
Gran Añejo is versatile and can be savored neat, over ice, or as a refined base for premium cocktails.
