The origin of Barceló Rum

The production
Traditional methods and 100% natural ingredients
Ron Barceló is made from 100% natural sugar cane juice grown on its own plantations in the fertile soils of the Dominican Republic without pesticides or artificial fertilisers. As the only Dominican rum label that exclusively uses sugar cane juice from its own plantations, Barceló guarantees exceptional quality and authenticity.
Barceló rum is produced using traditional distillation methods and modern techniques such as the vacuum process in column stills in order to preserve the flavours of the sugar cane in the best possible way. This special distillation method ensures the unique complexity and purity of the rum. After distillation, the rum is matured in various wooden barrels, which contributes to the additional depth and characteristic flavour of the end product.
Sustainable production
Barceló Rum attaches great importance to sustainability and is actively committed to protecting the environment. The distillery works in an energy-efficient manner and uses renewable energy to reduce its ecological footprint. Ron Barceló also deliberately avoids additives such as sugar and colourings in order to preserve the purity and quality of the rum.
Another sign of the company's commitment to sustainability is the CO2 neutrality certification that Barceló Rum has received. This underlines the company's endeavour to protect the environment while delivering high-quality products.
Strict quality controls
