Producer Information: Ron Barceló
Ron Barceló was founded in 1930 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, by Spanish entrepreneur Julián Barceló, who set out to craft rum that would embody the spirit and terroir of the Caribbean. The distillery’s philosophy centers on using only Dominican sugarcane and a unique aging process in American oak barrels under the island’s tropical climate, which accelerates maturation and imparts deep complexity to their rums. Ron Barceló is particularly known for its commitment to sustainability, being one of the few rum producers certified as carbon neutral. Beyond their flagship aged rums like Barceló Imperial, they also produce limited-edition blends and flavored expressions that highlight local ingredients. Their portfolio extends into ready-to-drink cocktails and specialty liqueurs crafted with Caribbean botanicals, further cementing their reputation as a leader in premium spirits from the Dominican Republic.

Rum is a distilled spirit made primarily from sugarcane juice or molasses, offering a diverse range of flavors and styles. It can be produced using either pot still or column still distillation methods, resulting in various textures that range from smooth to rich, and light-bodied to full-bodied depending on the style and aging process.
This versatile spirit can be unaged, known as white rum, or aged in barrels to develop deeper flavors found in gold and dark rums. The aroma profile typically includes sweet and fruity notes with hints of caramel, vanilla, and spice; tropical fruits and coconut may also emerge based on the aging conditions. Rum is commonly used in cocktails such as Mojitos, Daiquiris, Pina Coladas, Rum Punches, and Mai Tais, making it a staple in both casual gatherings and sophisticated mixology.
