The Ron Barco XO Navy Strength 15yo Rum is a premium spirit that is deeply intertwined with the history of seafaring. The name "Barco de Cargas" translates to "cargo ship" in Spanish, paying homage to the shipping and trade of the past. This rum is a nod to the Navy Rum that was given to British Marines for centuries. Crafted by Ron Barco, a renowned brand from Guatemala, this rum embodies a tradition of excellence and craftsmanship.
The Ron Barco XO Navy Strength 15yo Rum is aged for 15 years in oak barrels, and is then bottled as a Navy Strength Rum, with a high alcohol content of 60%. This ensures that the rum receives the respect and attention it deserves. The rum is dark in color and made from molasses, providing a rich, nuanced flavor profile. Notes of vanilla, caramel, wood, cinnamon, and chocolate with nuts contribute to its complex taste.
Similar to other top-shelf rums from Guatemala, known for their high quality and attention to detail, the Ron Barco XO Navy Strength 15yo Rum offers a sweet taste with notes of sherry and syrup, balanced by an alcoholic punch. The full-bodied flavor and long-lasting finish confirm its quality.
