Barcelo Imperial Premium Blend 30 Aniversario

7:The nose is greedy yet dry. A pleasant woodiness with hints of nuts (especially walnuts and almonds) takes center stage. Aromas of caramel coffee try to steal the show, but don't quite succeed. Slight mushroom notes complete the profile.
7,5:On the palate, the attack is sweeter than expected, and this sweet impression becomes more and more present with each passing second. The 43% does not allow this rum to descend into an extreme liquorice. There's caramel and, in the background, nuts and roasted notes.Hints of leather/tobacco underneath.
7:The finish is rather long and clearly dominated by caramel and nuts. The cask, however, remains in ambush not far behind.
A nice companion with cigar.

Barceló Imperial atteint ainsi cette année sa plus belle expression. Son secret ? Un affinage supplémentaire de deux ans dans des fûts de Château d’Yquem. Toute la douceur que l’on peut attendre d’un rhum vieux. Equilibre, gourmandise et opulence : crème de fruits, vanille, noisettes grillées, beurre de cacao, caramel.

Typical Barcelo taste, only deeper, more complex in very interesting bottle
But for 30 years and price I expected even a bit more

i expected more of this one.. dont get me wrong, it is a very good rum but probably in my mind by the price and by the package and by the name.. my expectancy was higher

Not quite a nine and a bit pricy for the cool bottle. It is still a winner if you are willing to pay a 100 bucks for it.

Very fine aged rum. A 12 year old blend of Dominican rums out of which two years are in French oak barrels.
Nice oaky nutty notes on the nose, once you get past the spirit punch, it is a 43% rum.
Taste wise you get the same as on the nose with added sweetness. Reminds me of a courvoisier xo.
An excellent sipping rum that is great for a cigar, on a quiet day. To be enjoyed and savored at leisure.

Nicely packaged for cardboard, not quite cedar and leather but at sub $100 quite nice. Bottle first class also with tin or soft metal cap seal. Slightly red deep mahogany color in the bottle, easy on the nose first sip a tad sweet but has long lingering flavor. 30th anniversary blend doesn’t say how long it was aged, 43%. This is a nice bottle of rum very easy to drink slightly sweet but not over the top, the long lasting depth makes it a solid 9. Could drink this all night long.

Reddish amber in color- copper. Unusual acetone aroma. Bananas and cardboard. At 86 proof, it seems hotter. Has a decent caramel flavor. Big finishing maple syrup notes.

Bottle No. 16292 - 2020.

En god rom med en smule bitterhed i eftersmagen.

This rum is a bit stronger, but has a very good strong flavour.
