Nice bottle, okay rum. Smokey and a bit heavy, certainly not everyman's friend, but I like it.

Perhaps a bit generous of a rating, but by my preferences this is outstanding rum. Hefty tastes of banana and vanilla create a deeply tasteful and smooth flavor.

Tasty rum but if it was a little less biter, I think it would be much smoother and tastier. Although, with a cigar you can make a nice pairing. It doesn't go with all cigars.

And I like that!! The nose is a lot like Kaniche, just without fruit. That is, brown sugar, smoke, spice. Tastes of sweet brown sugar and dry leather, with hints of gasoline. There also a certain degree of vegetal-ness that's present. The brown sugar refuses to back off even on the finish, along with burnt sugar and a fairly strong smokiness that settles in, bringing some heat with it. Adding a little water (which normally I don't do) brings out the leather a little more, and makes this rum way more approachable!
UPDATE:For reasons that escape me, this rum is super drinkable. I don't think I can justify giving it a higher score since I'm sure the heavy whiskey presence will put-off a good number of people, but if whiskey is your thing, this rum could quickly become your best friend!!

Pekne zabalený rum v peknej fľaši. Vo vôni je cítiť, že by to mohol byť sladší, ale nie je to celkom tak, u mňa dominovali tóny medu, vanilky, neskôr čokolády a tabaku. Rum je veľmi hladký, jemný, má 38% alkoholu. Po prvom ochutnaní zístíte, že rum je suchšieho charakteru, na jazyku tabak, citíť dubový súdok, v ktorom aj tento rum zrel. Slušňý rum, ktorým určite nič nepokazíte, ale nie je úplne podľa môjho gusta. V cenovej relácii, v ktorej sa tento rum nachádza, je ale určite nadpriemerný. Fľaša stála okolo 20€. Určite si Barceló Imperial nájde svoju cieľovú skupinu.

Para mí este es un buen ron, el cual tiene la capacidad de ser disfrutado tanto mezclado con cocacola o solo con hielo.
