I felt mellow tones of bourbon, cinnamon and new spices, the taste is light and dry. Like this one. For connoisseurs...

Solid sipper with smokey afterburn. Similar to Diplomatico Anejo. Funny sugar granules in bottle. Kind of the hint;)

Deze Barcelo Imperial rum ondergaat een rijpingsproces van gemiddeld 10 jaar in gloednieuwe, wit, eikenhouten vaten. Deze vorm van rijping is de handtekening van Barcelo die men op haar producten zet, een unieke stijl die zijn mannetje staat tussen te concurrentie.

De rum heeft een vol en rijk karakter die omringd wordt door zalige aroma’s van onder andere kaneel, sinaasappel, appel en dadels. Er is een milde rokerigheid te bespeuren met hints van nieuw leer, een combinatie die een voorproefje geeft van de intrigerende complexiteit van deze rum. De smaak zelf is zeer glad, en tevens zeer uitgebalanceerd, met tonen van toffee, cacao en vleugjes peper.

Geschiedenis
Ron Barceló is ontstaan door Julian Barceló, een Spaanse emigrant geboren in Mallorca. Hij begon het bedrijf in 1930 onder de naam Barceló & Co in Santo Domingo in de Dominicaanse Repubiek. Het duurde niet lang voor dat het Barcelo merk belangrijk werd tussen de lokale rum merken en uiteindelijk moest opboksen tegen de grootste en meest prestigieuze Dominicaanse bedrijven. Gedurende de jaren ’80 werd de Ron Barceló rum de bekendste rum in de Dominicaanse republiek. De export groeide en het bedrijf begon buiten de Cariben te distribueren, in 1994 werd Ron Barceló geëxporteerd naar ruim 10 landen, met Spanje als grootste afnemer.

A sweet nose, golden color and a smooth taste. Nice for sipping.

Was expecting a good rum but i wad dissapointed. It's fruty but way to dry for my taste. Made me think of whiskey more the rum. It's well aged but i just don't like the overall taste palet.

To be honest...sweet at first.. very smooth..no burn..its very very close to Flor de Caña 12... I prefer Flor de Caña..but not by much..and they are the same price

Expected a bit more from this one, still fairly good though. A bit smoother than Barcelo Anejo

EDIT: After some time i enjoyed it more than i tried it first time so edited rating to 7

This rum has a great smell and the subtle taste will linger in your mouth. It's not a very complex rum but it tastes good! And come on, the bottle and box look great, that must count for something!

Cat de cat se apropie de ideea de rom premium dar mai are multe de invatat. Mult mai bun decat celelate doua mai ieftine dar infinit mai nasol decat Imperial-ul 30 Aniversario.

Not my favorite one. Ron Barcelo is ok in the nose, but when it comes to sipping this rum, i think it is too much alcoholic and too less of other armoas.
But I will give another try with a drop of water or ice.
