Barcelo Imperial

Good rum, nice aroma. Delicate flavor, slightly sweet.

Very smooth for a Barceló (will still warm you up) and good for drinking neat.

Great rum for cuba libre, slightly sweet which makes a great mixer.

Smooth, gets better after the first taste. Always have a bottle of this to have it ready when friends come over

Блеклая вкусоароматика, достаточно питкий, достаточно посредственный ром.

Pretty looking bottle, especially the huge 1.75L one. Nice darker colour, the rum is a little boring at first - not much happening. Then the taste comes in. Nice hints of wood and leather. If the taste was a little stronger from the get-go and also in general, this could be an 8. Maybe it could also use a little more voltage - it just seems too smooth for its own good. Still great especially given the price.

Good Qpr and sippin' rum, but a bit closed on the nose and not that aromatic (it opens up after 20-30 min in the glass).
Nice brown/orange color, not too heavy and bodied but also, not to light or thin bodied.
Otherwise decent alcohol and not over-burning on the throat. Fair rum.

English version after the French one...

J'ai bu ce rhum pour la première fois en vacances à Punta Cana en République dominicaine. Le packaging en fait un rhum qui se présente très bien visuellement. La bouteille se distingue aisément de par sa forme. Au nez, on peut percevoir du Cacao, du caramel et un soupçon de vanille. Ma conjointe dit percevoir des saveurs de cannelle !! J'en doute, mais bon... les goûts et les couleurs ne se discutent pas ! 😁
Le Barcelo Impérial se boit très bien ! Il n'est pas agressif en bouche. Il est doux sans trop l'être. Un parfait équilibre disons!
La finale est persistante, et ce rhum réchauffe assez bien le thorax ! 😁
Je préfère le déguster brut ! Sans glaçon. La texture est plus onctueuse ainsi et les saveurs se manifestent tel un parfum envoûtant... Je l'ai bu en ayant en main un verre de El Passador de Oro XO, pour comparer. Je peux dire sans l'ombre d'un doute que le Barcelo a plus de caractère! Je l'achèterai encore et encore...

I first drank that rhum at punta cana, i was on vacation. The packaging is very well made ! Fine details... the bottle is beautiful also ! The noze smells cacao and may be some caramel and a little vanilla ! My wife says Cinnamon :)
The barcelo imperial is easy to drink, not overly sweet, not rough neither, warms the chest, with a long final in the mouth ! I prefer to drink it straight. The texture of the liquor in the mouth is rounder ! I drink this rhum while having a glass of El Passador de Oro XO, in order to compare. I can tell without any doubt that the Barcelo Imperial has much more character than the Passador de Oro Xo. I will buy it again and again !

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.

De tweede van de avond. Milder dan de El Dorado. Maar daardoor wat vlakjes
