This is really nice rum. Sharp, tobacco, smoke on nose. The first sip warms you instantly. Sweetish, with tobacco flavor. Some vanilla at the end. Bit sharp. Definitely not great choice for beginners, but indeed a lovely sipper.

Il Barcelò è un ottimo rum, molto profumato e rinfrescante (provato anche con ghiaccio).

Nice, very smooth with light touch of alcohol for reasonable price. Good tip.

Fully flavoured rich rum. Incredeble nice price for such rum. Comes with complexity by adding small drip of water.

Dominican Republic
Ron Barcelo Imperial

Eye
Density, dark, copper, mellow mahogany.

Nose
Initially you can feel high alcohol in your nose, as soon as your open it with a bit of water, aromas such as honey, vanilla, chocolate, molasses start coming to you.

Taste
The palate is creamy, but not burning in the mouth just a little bit in the throat, sweet, chocolate, sugar cane, nuts, a reminder of oak definitely a little dry finish.

Makes a good rum and coke. Good rum taste with a good amount of after-burn. Sipped alone, it is better than many of its brethren in the same price range. Mixed with cola, it is better than Bacardi Gold and at a good price point. Not quite as good as Bacardi 8 as a sipper. Not nearly as good as Pyrat or some of the less expensive offerings (5 year, 8 year) from El Dorado, to provide other comparisons.
