Barcelo Imperial

No acaba de convencer para beberlo solo y es demasiado caro para combinados

The smell is quite easy on the nose. A bit spicy and some vanilla. The taste is quite neutral. No real complexity but burn of alcohol while drinking, no real sweetness, which is nice if you are looking to get away from the diplomaticos or the zacapas. No real afterburn, its actually a quite smooth rum. When you make up the balance, you get a nice rum for a nice price. Good to serve to a thirsty crowd, without worrying that your top of the line rum will go wasted on guests that cant appreciate it to the fullest.

Tasty but not quite great yet. It is not too sweet which is pleasant but overall I feel as some body would be good to complete the taste as the aftertaste is a bit flat.

An average rum that didn't charm me. You can feel its sharpness right from the start.

Má to něco do sebe, hlavně tu nostalgii, když jsem to popíjel kolem roku 2010 a mám na to hodně příjemných vzpomínek.

4o Vám ako prvé udrie do očí je krásne darčekové balenie tejto fľaše. taktiež stojí za zmienku krásny dizajn fľaše, ktorý mi však nepríde vhodné pre rumové prevedenie.

Fľaša: Prepracovanosť tu je vidieť v každom detaile. Logo producenta rumu, ozdoba korku hrdla fľaše, zaoblené hrany, proste krásna fľaša, len neviem, stále mi to nejako nepríde ako fľaša určená pre rum.

Vôňa: trocha mi tu prebíja alkoholová vôňa ale je tu cítiť vôňa bielej čokolády. Trocha hrozienka ale je to aj ťažšia vôňa, ktorá sa prejaví aj na chuti.

Chuť: čokoláda, trocha korenia ale veľmi zamatová chuť, skôr niečo krémovejšie. Pre mňa chuť prebíja alkohol.

Záver: rum ma nenadchol, neprekvapil, je chutnejší ako Gran anejo ale nie je to moje pravé orechové. Aj keď som ho chcel ochutnať, stačí raz a dosť. Veľmi krémový rum.

If you want a sipping rum that won't set you back $50 this isn't a bad choice. I would order this at the Iberostar in Punta Cana because all their other local stuff (Brugal) was less than drinkable. If you're on a budget in the USA and like rum, this is a good choice.

Dominicaine .................................Mmmmm

Enjoyable but not memorable... slightly sweet with a touch light body and balanced but without strong character.

I can live with it...if you have to. Little harsh, it ended up in rum-cola
