This must be the better Barcelo Imperial, that was quite pleasant but also a little bit weak. This one has also only 38% abv. A little bit too weak, I would prefer 43%.

I get a lot of oak in the nose. There are some similarities to some woody rums like Mount Gay XO Triple Cask or Flor de Cana. Almost the same oaky nose with some orange peels. Some dry fuits, some grape seeds and vanilla are also in the nose.
The taste starts woody and a little bit sweet, not as light as Imperial. Not too bad for 38%. I get the orange peels, some paper, burned sugar and some grape seeds. The rum finishes with spice, wood and earthy barrel, dark dry fuits.
Enjoyable rum, not very complex, with more abv it could be better. Therefore 73 rating points.

I like the Barcelos in general because they are more mild in the finish. MG XO is more spicy and heavy in the taste.

Smell: oak/wood, dry fruits, some grape seeds, orange peels, caramel, vanilla
Taste: oak, caramel, orange peels, paper, burned sugar, grape seeds
Finish: spice, wet barrel, dark fruit
Aftertaste: wood/wet barrel, orange peels and caramel

Sweetness: 1.5/5
Fruit: 2/5
Spice: 2/5
Mildness: 4/5
Value (33€): 3/5

I just returned from a trip to La Rommona, and a tour of the Barcelo factory. And discovered his wonderful rum. The extra char in he barrels gives this rum whiskey flavor, with hints of vanilla. Great on the rocks, or with a splash of coke.

Aromes vanille, amende et un epu se réglisse dans un second temps.
Manque de longueur en bouche.

Waw !
Ce rhum se démarque vraiment de par ses notes tropicales (vanille, coco)
Quand je l’ai dégusté, j’avais également ouvert un plantation 20e anniversaire et un Kirk and Sweney 18 ans. Le Barcelo Onyx se tient très bien à côté de ces 2 bouteilles qui sont de bonne qualité!
Belle découverte!

Cheers,

Décidément pas fan des rhums avec un caractère proche du whisky

Honestly, it's sweeter than I like but not bad at all. I can feel some coffee tones.

Way better than the original Imperial. Smoother and with longer after taste. One of my favourites served splashed on ice .

Mahogany colour with amber shades. With a robust, structured body and of great character. Toasted fragrances, with a subtle hint of cherry, coffee and nuts.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this rum. Smooth and flavorful.

Stronger heavier burned barrel aroma with coffee touch; lighter and round, caramel in body with coffee finish; short roasted coffee tail.
