At Barceló & Co., we've always been willing to go the full stretch doing more than industry requirements dictate to ensure the product quality.
In each stage of production, from prep work and fermentation to distillation and maturing , a balance of technology and tradition come together.
Our own water treatment plant provides a fundamental guarantee of purity. Internal controls also implement the use of chromatographic analysis in each stage of production. Chromatography, in fact, is even performed on our rums in advanced stages of aging as part of a final inspection, Technicians also use a fine filter to achieve additional luster by removing any impurities from Barceló Products .
..
With and eye to the future, we've welcomed high-tech solutions where needed. Our distillery in outskirts of San Pedro de Macorís features state-of-the-art controls with computerized panels monitoring each facet of the distillation process, resulting in the most modern production technology of the Caribbean.
This facility is prepared to effectively handle up to 60% of the domestic market requirement, produciong 40,000 liters of alcohol per day with an operational capacity of 50,000 liters daily. In addition to cost-efficiency, an important ecological feature is waste control with distillation by-products used to supply the demand for different grades of alcohol in the perfume. Cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
The entire aging process is regarded with enormous respect. In all cellars , the strictest care is taken to avoid unintended alterations of taste. The precise scale and dimensions of our oak barrels are verified.
Each rum series is carefully marked and numbers of series are never repeated so as to maintain an accurate production history.
In fact, we generally age of rums longer than required. At Barceló & Co., there is a respect for tradition that goes far beyond the standard.
The importance of our Tasters, skilled in distinguishing the nobility of aged rums through sensorial analysis is never underestimated.
This human element is considered of vital importance and the catador has the final word before a series
is released.
Keeping pace with the distillery, the installation of a Krones Turnkey Bottling and Packaging Line at the parent plant has doubled capacity with a system that combines rinsing, filling, capping, labelling, dividing and case packing at the rate of 340 bpm.
The greatest
asset is still our work force. From skilled lab technicians to the workmen who march to the thunder of barrels, all for us at Barceló share in the spirit of team effort....
.... we are Barceló!!
