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

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

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.

This is actually the best Barcelo can do. Best neat or on rocks.

A gouter pour changer de voie dans le rhum. Plus sec que les classiques DDD ( don papa, diplomatico, dix neuf dix neuf ) il manque de charme et de parfum.
Prix mini donc foncez

A good entry in Dominican style rums. Sweet,smooth,light and for the price of 20€ you please your purse aswell. Good one!
I don't consider the Imperial a sipping rum, but it is my top choice to impress good friends on a good mojito or even better a dark and stormy.

Léger. A l'attaque un peu terreux et épicé, puis caramel et vanille.
Belle longueur.
Sérieux malgré son petit prix; il nous fait entrer de plain pied dans le monde des rhums.

This rum is super harsh at first, but the smell is pretty good, so I let it breathe for a couple of minutes and then tasted again. It was still pretty strong, but I could taste actual flavour in the rum which I found intriguing and satisfying. It doesn't seem to be sweetened too much (if at all) and stays true to the original rum concept without heavily relying on added sugar. I wouldn't probably buy this again, but if someone served me this rum, I would still take it quite happily. Plus it is a solid option for 22 euro. Some retailers including the dealer to my area state that this blend consists of rums AT LEAST ten years old, which I find extremely unlikely and in contradiction to some other statements.
