Ron del Barrilito 3 Star Rum

Ron del Barrilito 3-Star is Puerto Rico’s classic aged sipping rum — rich, smooth, and sherry-influenced. Aged 6–10 years in Oloroso casks, it shows notes of almonds, raisins, vanilla, bananas, and oak spice. At 43% ABV, it’s bold yet refined, perfect neat, on the rocks, or as the backbone of elevated rum cocktails.

Origins & Craftsmanship

• Produced at Hacienda Santa Ana by Ron del Barrilito, Puerto Rico’s oldest rum brand still in operation (since 1880).

• Blend of rums aged 6–10 years exclusively in Oloroso sherry-seasoned Spanish oak casks.

• Bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof).

• All-natural production: no artificial colors, flavors, or additives.
