Barrilito 5 star

Over the last year I've heard about Barrilito 5 star rum. I'd never seen or drank this rum, but it wasn't until last week while at the Barrilito facility that I was able to ask Manuel Fernandez about a limited edition 5 star rum. From the horse's mouth, "We've never made a 5 star rum." Coming from one of the owner's of the company, I believe Barrilito never made such a rum, but understand that after a few drinks it's possible to see 5 stars instead of 3 star on the label. Cheers.

Ed,

Perhaps they were confused with Barbancourt, who does make a 5 star.

I do have a bottle of Serralles new rum, Don Q Anejo (aged 7 years, or so I was told at Casa Don Q in Old San Juan when I bought it).

Salud,

Patrick
