Barcelo Imperial Onyx

Couleur un peu plus foncé que impérial odeur est la même. Cela reste Rhum très doux et note de vanille et de boisé ou grillé plus complexe que son frère impérial. Moins fort en alcool et plus épicer.

Very nice rum with notes of caramel and hints of fruit. Not sharp at all, as should be expected with the low 38% alcohol, but still smooth and nice, but with limited complexity.

another good sipper, not oversweet.
All these promo stories about onyx and silver make almost mystical atmosphere and black embossed bottle is very impresive. Good gift.

Lækker room med noter af røg vanille og eg. Kan absolut anbefales hvis du er til en rom der er lidt røget.

I find the Barcelo Imperial (less expensive by $10 at least here in Ont. Can.) to be better. I found the "Onyx" rum rather heavier on the palette than I prefer. The bottle looks sharp though and I won't hesitate to buy it again.

I was surprised by the orange after taste. Not that sweet and perfectly balanced

I can be all day long only smelling this rum, taste of vanilla and gentle oak spice.

Vanilla smoky sweeter nose. Fruity (cherry plum) vanilla creamy not too sweet a bit caramelly oaky rich gentle body... longer vanilla sweetness in aftertaste... a surprise...

Nice perfect Ron for business meeting. Ey like dry Ron but good taste an perfect body. I like it. Yeah.

I didn't try original barcelo but this one was very solid. Flavours of fruit, vanilla, oak and a lot of smoke. Little bit less smoke and more wood in taste and it could be 8.

EDIT: after couple of another sips I have to admit that it is better than I remember from first glass.
