Barcelo Imperial and El Pasador de Oro XO.
They are approximately the same price.
After quick introduction of both we had preferred Barcelo.
El Pasador is a bit weird on the nose and does not feel XO enough. Barcelo, indeed, is more solid more man's stuff, classic dominican style.
At the end of the night 75% of Barcelo (score 8) and 20% of EP (score 7) are gone.

Edit: Barcelo plus 1. Rich, strong pleasant, some magic included into 50$

Včera jsem jej poprvé ochutnal u známých. Velice mi chutnal a musím říci, že i hodně voněl. Nejčíve jsem jej dlouho očichával a lovil při tom z paměti vůně jiných rumů. Vzpomněl jsem si přitom na rum Pyrat, ale tento má vůni jemnější. Chuť samotná nasládlá a velice jemně nevtíravá. Trošku ovocná s nádechem kakaa. Další adept do mé sbírky. Velice příjemná je i cena u tohoto výtečného rumu.

I didn't expect this rum to be this good. Natural sweetness, dry, yet still really smooth. Love the taste. Perfect for sipping.

Some say that this shape of a bottle of rum does not fit, but I like it very much. The Imperial name fits well. The color is rather semi-dark, smells sweet. Sweetness will also show up when tasting, and will also please non-rum enthusiasts. When swallowed, it does not scratch and generally acts very cultivated. Due to its pleasant taste and interesting bottle it is also a good gift. I strongly recommend this rum!

Para mi gusto, este junto al pampero aniversario, son los rones con mejor calidad precio. En este caso estamos ante un ron dorado, recuerda a manzana madura, frutos secos y madera, moderadamente dulce y un final largo , solo o con una piedra de hielo.

This is a great go to rum when you don't want to break the bank. Very smooth. Notes of spices, caramel, tobacco, and vanilla. Difference between this and onyx is onyx is smokier.
