Ron del Barrilito 5 Star Rum

Experience the unmatched elegance of Ron del Barrilito Five Stars Reserva Suprema Rum, an extremely limited, one-of-a-kind blend of premium Puerto Rican rums aged up to 35 years in certified Oloroso sherry casks. This exceptional spirit, crafted with the same meticulous tradition that has defined the brand since 1880, boasts a full body with a strong wood backbone at 86 proof (43% ABV). Indulge in its complex flavor profile featuring natural aromas of plums, bananas, almonds, vanilla, and caramelized sugar cane, leading to an exceptionally smooth palate with natural sweetness and a distinctive smoky wood finish. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, Ron del Barrilito uses no artificial flavorings, added sugars, or caramel coloring—its deep amber hue develops naturally through the aging process in vintage Spanish white oak barrels. This one-time production represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of rum-making history, making it perfect for discerning collectors and connoisseurs seeking the finest Puerto Rican rum experience.

Process & Profile

Ron del Barrilito 5 Star is produced at Hacienda Santa Ana in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, using methods unchanged since 1880. At the heart of its unique character is the ancient process of maceration, where a portion of the rum is infused with a blend of dried fruits and spices before aging. The rum is then matured for up to 35 years in vintage white oak barrels that once held Oloroso sherry—imparting deep complexity and a natural amber hue, all without artificial flavors, sweeteners, or caramel coloring. Each small batch is blended and bottled under the watchful eye of renowned Master Blender Luis Planas. Even the water is sustainably harvested from rainfall, and every bottle is hand-labeled and packed for the ultimate artisanal touch.
