Schöne Flasche und sogar Nummeriert. (Nachbewertung vom 28.12.2018)
Tja, auch schon das beste an diesem Ron. (Nein)
In der Nase fruchtig und etwas bissig. (Relativ dezent, Karamell, Kakao, Leder, Früchte, nicht bissig)
Im Gaumen doch etwas zu flach, Trockenfrüchte, Toffee, Leder. (etwa so)
Nicht so süss. (jawohl)
Abgang schwach.
(Gutes Preis/Leistung Verhältnis für Einsteiger.)

Beautiful bottle and even numbered.
Well, even the best thing about this Ron.
a slightly fruty and biting nose.
On the palate, a bit too shallow, dried fruits, toffee, leather.
Not so sweet.
Weak in the finish.

Used to drink barcelo when I was younger. One of the first runs I ever drank. Those were good nights

nice rum, not exceptional, above most "go to" rums, great for the collection of "will not disappoint" drinks in the cabinet.

Underestimated bijou.
In my opinion this is an unappreciated and underestimated rum .Perfect for its price and quality .

For me this is a great rum for his price. If you like it, be sure to try the “onyx”

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

Let me start by saying that I have not really enjoyed Dominican rums so far. This is a beautiful bottle, with a great color and nose to the rum itself.

I find it to be somewhat dry, with a bit of smoke/leather notes, and a not unpleasant burn.

I feel that if I had paid full price for this, I might have been disappointed, but since it was on sale I grabbed it to check out.

Since my own preference leans toward darker and complex flavors, I found this one a bit harsh.. but perhaps on ice it would be better. It seems too nice to be mixed with cola, but it was enjoyable that way.

The bottle is a beauty. Looks very special. Nose has some sweetness. Hardly any alcohol to discover. The taste is very standard. Not very sweet, but good enough. Smooth without any afterburn. Ok as a sipper, probably not very good as a mixer.

Barcelo Imperial is a Dominican rum aged in oak barrels for years. In this magnificent bottle there is a dark, copper colored rum. The aromas are like butterscotch, vanilla and raisins. The sweetness in the aromas also exist in the taste. The taste has hints of toffee, butterscotch and pumpkin, but is not overly sweet. The aftertaste is very short, but is nice and oaky with some dark chocolate. Because this rum has a very short aftertaste it scores a 7 instead of an 8. But it is decent, and probably everyone will drink this rum with pleasure.
