Rating kommer i morgen når jeg er ædru eller lige efter
Smooth with good burn, may not live up to the price but a good rum.

This was not a memorable rum, especially for the price.

Unfortunately I only sampled a small 30ml of this but I am intrigued. Lashings of oak and malt maybe burnt oak, if I'm being honest a bit to woody for my usual taste but this had a great long finish of mild vanilla and burnt Orange, chocolate. A bottle will be put on my wishlist

Bottle is beautiful. Interesting rum. A little on the strong side. Great rum for those who love sipping a cognac flavor rum. I have it mostly for show and special occasions.
However, it you like a strong rum this is a great option for the price. Similar to other higher priced rums.
A must in a collection.
Do not use as a mixer. Too strong and pricy.

You taste it's a aged rum but i just don't taste like it. Dry, harsh, weird bourbon/whiskey tastes. It just doesn't taste like a good rum. It's complex, lots of different tastes, but not one i like. For a top rum it's at the bottem. Nice bottle though. It was on my wantlist, but aftet tasting i removed it. Sorry

Presented in a very beautiful bottle, the Barcelo Imperial 30y is once again linear and well balanced with some tobacco and chocolate flavor. The aftertase is longer than other barcelo's . Nice packaging, nice sipper' nice product but ... maybe not enough complex as you can expect for a 30 years old rum.
Doesn't taste as good as I cost, but could be good to have at home for guest's;-)

This is my 300th rating on RumRatings (I've rated rums from the exquisite to the vile) so I'm taking the opportunity to rate a very special rum I purchased several months ago. To get me in the mood, I'm listening to Bahamian music via http://www.portnassauwebcam.com/ (you can also listen to the music directly from the radio station at https://www.bahamianornuttin.com/) and watching live video of the Port of Nassau.
Now let's begin...
First off, this rum has a rich mahogany turning to an amber on the edges. Swirling the rum in my snifter reveals excellent legs. The aroma is fantastic. It's flavor is complex with an oakiness from tannins and I get the taste of vanilla, toffee, spicy pepper, black cherry, and a slight wine flavor. It has a bit of a bite to it due to the 43% ABV (86 proof) but the burn fades quickly leaving a finish of the oak tannins as well as the vanilla & toffee. This an awesome rum that I believe would be appreciated by those who enjoy bourbon as well as hardcore rum aficionados. Each bottle is hand-numbered. My bottle is # 2072 and was bottled in 2014. This rum is pricey but worth it and should only be consumed on special occasions. Like a 300th rating.
Now I'm going to kick back with another snifter of the rum while listening to Bahamian music. Have a good night, folks.
[NOTE: To those who ask why I don't rate it a 10. Well to me, a 10 means a PERFECT rum and I do not believe such a rum exists. The late, great Vince Lombardi once said, “Gentlemen, we will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence.” And that sums up my personal philosophy for rum.]
