This is a hard to find rum and is not to be found in most everyday liquor stores. If you can hunt down a bottle you will be rewarded. I consider this to be one of the all time bargains in rum
NAME: 1 Barrel
PRICE: $14.99-$17.99
LOCATION: Belize
COLOR: Amber to light clover honey in appearance
NOSE: Soft, rum, alcohol, butterscotch, Carmel, flan, Carmel apples
TASTE: Forcing the 1 Barrel through the front teeth onto the tongue creates a very pleasant buttery sensation that develops into a much more complex taste eventually ending with a long pronounced pecan pralines taste that is soft, sweet and wonderful.
AFTERTASTE: Lingering, lasting at least a minute with multiple creamy flavors developing
FINAL THOUGHTS: Wow! What a wonderful rum. All this flavor and for under $20. This is a complex rum for the drinker who has the time and palette to appreciate the complexity it is able to produce. Do not mix or dilute this rum. This is a real "sleeper" bargain. Highly recommended if you can find it.

Note: Sue Sea and I have also reviewed this rum (here), with a very different result..
