The origin of Ron Barceló
The story of Ron Barceló began in 1930 in Santo Domingo. The brand was founded by Julián Barceló, a Spanish entrepreneur who arrived in the Dominican Republic with the idea of creating his own rum.
Over the years, the brand became one of the most important in the country. Today Ron Barceló is exported to numerous markets and represents one of the most recognisable rum styles from the Caribbean.
The Dominican Republic has a long tradition of rum production. The warm climate, humidity and ageing in oak casks create perfect conditions for developing complex aromas and a smooth texture.
Produced from sugar cane
Ron Barceló is produced from alcohol obtained from sugar cane. This ingredient is the foundation of Caribbean rums and provides the sweet and aromatic character of the spirit.
After fermentation of the sugar cane must, the alcohol is distilled to obtain a clean and balanced spirit. The ageing process then begins, a key stage in the development of the rum.
During this period the rum rests in oak casks. The wood contributes gentle vanilla notes, light toasted nuances and a rounder texture. The tropical climate accelerates maturation and allows the rum to evolve quickly.
This production method forms part of the identity of Dominican rums, known for their smooth and balanced style.
