Barcelo Imperial

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.

If you buy it - you dont do anything wrong! A nice mild rum. It also has a serial-number on its back.

De color cobrizo,olor a vainilla,caramelo,de primera hay que dejarlo respirar para q el olor a alcohol disminuya,en boca seco pero afrutado,me encanta el olor que queda en el vaso al final.

Oproti jiným rumům nemá tak výrazné aroma, chuťově je ale příjemný a jemný. V této cenové kategorii OK. Nezklamal, ale ani nenadchl.

Smooth not too much sweet with hint of vanila. Smaller body and aftertaste. Aroma with lot of alcohol...

In the taste is obvious to mature in oak barrels. Spicy smooth, slightly-sweet rum for everyday days.
