Barcelo Imperial Premium Blend 30 Aniversario

According total score this shall be an average rum. It is not ! It is classical victim of relatively high price ,like a lot of rums on this webside. The most of reviewers with score 7 and less do care much more about a price then a taste.
This rum has nice colour, pleasant smell.Taste is smooth,caramel and vanilla ,medium long aftertaste.

Quite strong with the afterburner and therefore not my favorite. Very nice presentation of the flask, so I can definitely recommend this one for decoration. Drinking the rum on the other hand, is a different story. Could do a lot better…

Under $100 for a 30 year old is an incredible value. This is good rum. My question; Is it solera? It tastes a little like a solera system rum. But if it is, it is the best solera I have ever tasted. Very smooth. Very balanced. Coffee and vanilla notes. Nice mouth feel. If the finish were longer this would easily be a 9. Very good rum.

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

Bottle No. 16292 - 2020.

En god rom med en smule bitterhed i eftersmagen.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
