Bottle #69.
We tasted Barrell Rum Private Release B601 at Meeting No. 89 on April 30, 2020. We rated it very highly at 3.63 out of 5. Barrell Rum Private Release B601 ranks 3rd overall in Rum.
I'm not a big rum fan but this one has a lot to offer, the sherry comes through on the finish and lots of different spices.
Nuclear rocket fuel for cigar boats flying through the tropics. Sweet tarts - explosive ones. With a drop of water, it gets darker, more plummy goodness. There's some funky Agricole going on, which I dig, but may limit the widespread love.
Super crazy hot but balanced flavors from every island in a warm climate. A touch of funk on the nose but not-so-much in the flavor. Tough one to sip straight but I'd love to float a bit of this in a top-shelf tiki cocktail.
Super strong and funky. Like the idea of floating it on top of a fruity frozen drink. I could see drinking this one on spring break.
