Distillerie : Barcelo
Provenance : Saint Domingue, République Dominicaine

Rhum de tradition espagnole, le rhum Ron Barcelo Imperial est issu d'un assemblage de rhums âgés de 4 à 11 ans.

Sa robe est ambrée, légèrement fauve.

Le nez est assez riche ; on relève des notes fauves assez puissantes, du caramel et une pointe de vanille.

En bouche ce rhum est toujours aussi caramélisé, l'attaque est moelleuse mais puissante et très "sec" et boisée ; on retrouve au palais la vanille, des notes assez dures de cuir, des épices.

Le finale est tout aussi sec et puissant, limite austère.
Ce rhum est sans aucun doute un rhum de caractère (boisé à souhait), avis aux amateurs...

Got this rum on Curasao for 23$. What a bargain, exceptional good for this price.
It's rich in taste and spicy (not harsh).
You should give this rum some time to breath, 10-20min would be fine, because at the beginning there is a alcohol note in the smell.
I love the oil, it's warm and fills your mouth with flavours.
The finish is warm and spicy, some light sweetness remains on the palet. This rum is very very good.

Smell: oak, caramel, some molasses, dry fruits (plum, raisins), mandarine, toasted barrel
Taste: caramel, burned suggar, rum raisins, mandarine, vanilla, spice, oak, some bitterness (not much)

Sweetness: 2/5
Fruit: 3/5
Spice: 3/5
Mildness: 4/5
Value (21€): 4/5

Interesting smoking taste, but not really my cap of tea.

ikke så veldig søt i smaken, men en god ettersmak.

For those who knows, it is similar like Margot chocolate. Not really bad, but not extraordinary.

Average rum in a nice looking bottle. Better than the Anejo

Obviously it is one ot the best Barcelo's rum. It's more smooth, more fruty, more flavourfull than the other their rums, but among the others Dominican rums it very average. The only great thing in it - is the nice bottle! 8)

Un bon petit rhum à l'espagnole pas cher et sympa. Goût caramel tout en restant léger.
