A nice tasting rum. Tastes a bit smokey with light vanilla. Enjoyable with favorite mix

bananas, molasses, sugar sweet, not much alcohol burn. A good value if you can find it vs. the other sweeter rums, but too sweet for me.

Nez très agréable le caramel et le boisé font forte impression.
En bouche l'attaque est douce, le boisé et le caramel restent présents... Ensuite plus rien.
Une légère note de fût perdure à la finale mais de façon éphémère.

Když se řekne rum, synonymem je Barceló Imperial. Etalon kvality a chuti. Suchý rum, vyvážená chuť tabáku, dubového dřeva, nádech kůže a máslového karamelu. Ideální k letnímu posezení na terase s douníkem. Za skvělou cenu to nejlepší co jde pořídit. Předčí i mnohem dražší rumy. Doporučuji.
Flavor notes are bland and watered down with a substantial burn. I've had worse rums, but not many. And not at the $30 price point. Could be masked with a cola but you can do that for a lower price point.

Pleasant rum, had it on the rocks. Smokey taste ist most dominant, dry rum, not too spicy. Nothing that stands out, but nothing that stops you from enjoying it either. Good for it's price.

The rum is not bad but it has a strong taste of alcohol in the beginning, I would try it in a cocktail

Kiváló rum! Nagyon összetett, sűrű illat, érett, aszalt gyümölcsös, csokoládés, de mégsem tolakodó ízek.

Ochutnával jsem společně s Pampero Aniversario a upřímně - tyhle dva rumy mají hodně společného. Imperial mi přišel sušší, ale stejně jako Pampero i tady byly chutě pěkně uhlazené a vyzrálé. Výborný na večerní upíjení. Pampero bych, i vzhledem k maličko nižší ceně, ohodnotil o kousek výš.

A good rum but....

This is a unique rum experience and should be tried.
That said, the rum smells and finishes like perfume! I prefer the cheaper and tastier Barcelo Grand Anjeo to the Imperial. This one surprised me, in a bad way...
I'm thinking it must be the barrels they are using for this label. The oak flavor was odd, it was over oaked providing a burnt tobacco flavor. The whole rum was way off, dry, and unbalanced. The only saving grace is that I could taste a quality aged rum wanting to come out. It was just overpowered by a strange oakey flavor and overly pungent botanicals. For my second try I used a glass of Coke to help calm it down a bit but that lingering perfume aroma would not go away and that strange oak flavor prevailed.
The rum is not worth the price but its something a rum drinker should try. Maybe your experience will be different but I think Barcelo took what could have been a great rum and messed it up terribly.
It's also a nasty hangover. That smell is still in my nose and I feel awful right now!
