good quality rum, showing nice legs in your glass. Flavour expresses toasted wood, ripe plums, vanilla and smoke. Heavily burnt out barrels are used for the ageing process which explains the smoke flavour of this rum (and probably also its name). Good attack when sipped but still balanced. So taste reveals a dominating spiciness which is added to the flavour described above. Finish is unfortunately not too long. Would get beeter rating with a longer finish. If you have friends that prefer whisky and want to get some entry into the world of rum this black barrel rum might be a good start.

Decent for sipping but better with ice. Would be smoother if allowed to be a couple more years in the casket. Medium brown with hints of spices.

Very adequate as a sipper. Certainly spices and oak notes to be enjoyed albeit nothing overwhelming. A lighter version of the XO but very enjoyable nonetheless. Incredible value for less than $30 USD

A good Rum better than most not as harsh as I was prepared for.

J aime beaucoup ce rhum bien boisé, et bien épicé. Veilli 2 fois dans des barils de bourbon. Un petit goût de vanille. Je le conseille vraiment.

A nice rum with a great aroma of oak and vanilla along with aged leather and subtle tobacco notes. Great as a sipper or a mixer if you want a little oak barrel dimension to your cocktail.

Slap all the silly labelling you want on it, it didn't sit in the cask long enough.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Barbados
Aroma: Trocha sladkého parfému, sušené banány, citrusy, hřebíček, tropické ovoce. (84 b)
Chuť: Suchý, štiplavý, dřevitý a karamelový. Chuť je fádní, ale zase proti Eclipse je OK. (81 b)
Body: 82/100
Shrnutí: Ochutnáno při posezení s kamarádem v českolipském Baru/Kavárně Kocour. Od této značky jsem měl možnost ochutnat už tři rumy (Black Barrel, Eclipse a Extra Old) a ani jeden mě nijak nezaujal, a když, tak jen vůní, v chuti to bylo zklamání vždy.

Udemærket rom til en billig pris. Lidt vanille smag, og en okay duft. Den er dog også lidt sprittet

A little harsh with some burn. Flavors don't really mesh together very well. A good rum to add to your mixed drink recipes. Sipping is ok, but much better mixed. Some nice flavor from the charred oak barrels is important. I'd spend more to get the extra Old instead.
