Dominican Republic | Aged | 38% ABV
Barcelo Imperial rum is produced in the Dominican Republic using column stills before aged in white oak casks for up to 10 years.
Ron Barcelo was founded in 1929 by Spanish entrepreneur Julian Barcelo in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The brand was sold mainly in the Caribbean and North America until a much broader international expansion began in 1992.

Sweet, smooth and a little dry. Sugarcane, spice, oak and the usual vainilla, caramel from the bourbon casks. Fruit, I tasted like, kiwi...first time on that, it was nice. Finish, sweet nutty caramel oak. With water, dried pinnaple..sort of, and all of the above. I have a friend who loves it with coke......I like it neat.
SΓΆt lΓ€ttdrucken rom till bra pengar. KΓΆper gΓ€rna denna igen.
I first tried the Barcello rums while in the Dominican. Then they started bringing it up here once a year, now it is a staple. I am glad. It is a great standard for rum. It is not to dry and not too sweet with no real added flavours to hide the bare rum.. On a tasting my friends indicated that they found it nice and did not try to overdo anything. Just Rum, not too much oak, not too sweet, no vanilla or spices hiding the spirit. in that way Barcello is a bold rum. I like this one as well as the Barcello Gran Anejo (cheaper), which are both always on my shelf. This one is also in a very attractive glass bottle showcasing the amber goodness.
It's rum, and it doesn't taste like gasoline, so there's not anything predominantly bad going on with it. It's just not anything special.
Relative cheap, but tasty fine rum with a little bit rough end
A friend got this bottle for me as a birthday present .It's maybe not the rum with most flavours, but it is really nice and easy to drink. At first I tried it in a Cuba Libre putting maybe a bit too much rum in it but after drinking I though exactly the opposite, that I forgot putting rum in it, so smooth it was. What did that mean? The rum can be mixed but is probably better for sipping, what I tried next. And yes, its definitely a smooth sipping rum, not sweet what I like a lot, but not complex altough. I did not notice any wood or leather, maybe there is but so little I can't see it after all that cuban and venezuelan rums I usually drink. You can do nothing wrong with this rum, it will suit everyone who likes sipping and not mixing. It's maybe not a rum for a rum expert as its lacks complexity but definitely a rum I would buy again (and so I did).
The Imperial is Barcelo's first rum meant to be enjoyed neat. Their younger siblings are too harsh and their Premium Blend 30 is too pricey at over $100 a bottle. Good rum for those who don't care for sweet rums.
Very tasty rum and would highly recommend. It's best on the rocks. Not as good as the Brugal Leyenda for me but still a high quality rum and very tasty
I like this one a great deal for mixing. I tasted coconut?? when mixed with cola. I would always buy this when given the chance.

The nose is light and gentle.

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!
