Smooth and tasty, but not a ton of flavor. Light nose and overall light feel but easy sipper.
Nice reddish mahogany in color. Oak, cherry, nuts on the nose, little on the sweet side of them. My palate in really liking this one: soft cigar, oak, sweet cherry, alcohol taste is really likable. Various notes linger long time. Tasted this in room temperature and I would say, no for ice cubes. This goes well in tastings, conversations and even as a desert with creamcoffee on the side.
Tonight’s Rum, Ron Barceló Onyx from the Dominican Republic. Another selection from the BC Liquor Spirits sale. So disappointed BC gets so few decent Rums… Anyhow, since my first visit to DR I’ve seen their Rums get better and better. Onyx Hopefully this one will shine. Let’s get to it!
In the glass, this Rum the Onyx is dark, like a well aged Rum. Honey tempered, copper brown, or mahogany. It looks welcoming. The nose is what I would say is true Rum, no artificial or off putting odors. I get caramelized orange and vanilla with a hint of coconut. I like it.
The first hit is easy, but dryer than one might expect, but even though I prefer a sweeter Rum, I’m okay with it. Flavours are subtle with nothing standing out. I get orange, but beyond there I find it hard to break down… If pushed, I’d say flavours include, brown sugar, orange peel, pepper, and a shadow of honey. Honey flavour, but not sweetness. It’s a Rum full of complexity.
In the throat it’s got a significant warmth to it. It lingers far longer than most Rums and in the mouth, the pepper lasts well after you push it down. You will notice this Rum after the first sip.
Overall, it’s decent Rum, but loses points, not necessarily if you like dry Rums, for being dry like a Lowland Scotch. Some may rate it higher. Oddly though, I do find myself looking for another sip.
I’ll give this Rum a high 7, pushing 8/10, solely because of the dryness. I would say, best served neat. #364 of my 500 Rum Goal. I keep thinking I need to go to Barbados to add 50 or so to my list, including St. Nicholas Abbey 18 which is highlighted in my Rum centric novel.

Es curioso todo iba de forma muy interesante, en nariz los aromas a roble bien cuando entra en boca parece muy equilibrado con bastante sabor a caramelo vainilla etc, etc pero sobre todo parece suave hasta qué pasa por garganta y sale todo el alcohol, esa parte es lo que menos me ha gustado luego queda un regusto bastante agradable.....pero por 25€ que quiero? Una solera de 30anos? Eso es imposible y cada vez más, me parece muy decente no se si lo volveré a comprar....hay tantos rones........( Buenos, mejores y mejor olvidar).......

Very woody, good natural rum, comparable to Mount Gay XO
7
/10
out of 10
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.
