This ultra-premium rum range includes Barceló Imperial Porto Cask, Barceló Imperial Mizunara Cask, and Barceló Imperial Maple Cask. Nose: Rich toffee and dark brown sugar accent fine oak spices and hints of sap. Vanilla and baking spice appear as does a mild scent of fresh copper pennies. Notes of almond have have appeared and they have began to meld with the toffee and vanilla giving me a real sense of marzipan. Dark chocolate is hinted at as are canned apricots and orange liqueur. In the Mouth 53/60 Twelve years ago, when I first reviewed Barcelo Imperial I noted problems with the synthetic cork which came apart when I opened my bottle. I did not experience any problems this time. I bumped the score up accordingly. In the Glass 9/10 Other rums produced include Barceló Premium Blend 30 Aniv., Platinum, Gran Añejo, Añejo, Dorado, Blanco and Barceló Cream.

On the nose, you’ll find notes of roasted coffee, milk chocolate, and dried apricots.

This wonderful medley of delightful flavors is topped off with a long, simple finish of toffee. 5.

Tenhle mladý Španěl dorazil do Santo Dominga v roce 1929, o rok později založil společnosti Barceló & Co. a brzy vyráběl své první rumy. Experimentoval s řadou různých značek, až se dopracoval k dokonalosti.

At the bottom dark wood with caramel toffee sweets on top. The topping is cocoa and tart spices, very multidimensional. Je zde velice zřetelný charakterový podtext bourbonu a skořice, možná i nového koření, chuť je lehká a suchá. Nečekejte nijak zvlášť ohromující robustnost, Ron Barcelo ale napodruhé chutná o dost líp než při prvním seznámení. Vzhledem k přísným požadavkům na kvalitu se tohoto skvělého nápoje každoročně vyrobí pouze velmi omezené množství.

Shrnutí: Tento rum jsem podrobil opravdu náročným testům :-) , srovnával jsem s celou řadou rumů, které se u mě sešly. A patří k tomu nejlepšímu, co jsem poslední dobou ochutnal. Stroh 40, Abuelo Añejo, Matusalem 15y, ti všichni zůstali ve stínu Imperialu, jediný rum, který dopadl ještě lépe, byla Angostura 1824, ale tam už jsme v úplně jiné cenové relaci. Imperial seženete už kolem 550,-Kč, takže další muzikant, který vám zahraje hodně muziky za málo peněz. Once distilled, it’s aged for eight years in ex-bourbon casks. This is followed by six more years in Oloroso sherry casks. Each barrel imparts its own unique flavors, which is exactly what the Master Blender envisioned when selecting them. The exceptional characteristics of these new spirits represent the evolution of Ron Barceló Imperial, a brand that has won the world’s most important awards for its outstanding quality. Not a rum for beginners or for all palates. Very dry, smokey, leathery. I am sure it would be a great rum with a cigar, but I am not a smoker. Barcelo Imperial is sold in an open front cardboard box display which highlights the bottle within. It is a large flask style bottle which oozes elegance and style. A solid dense cork topper completes the bottle design and gives the rum a nnice ‘wow’ factor.

Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:

Though it’s not aged nearly as long as the previous expression, this one is still top-notch. It contains a blend of rums that are aged for an average of six years. The Dominican environment is hot and humid which does increase the speed of aging. This expression is aged almost entirely in American bourbon barrels which are routinely scraped and re-charred to achieve the optimal flavor. This devilish drink is heavy on the rum – exactly how they like it down there. While it’s softened by sweeter ingredients, you’ll feel the effects sooner rather than later.

Overall, the Ron Barcelo Imperial Rum is matured for ten years, finishing with two years in horizontal French oak barrels. This is contrary to the traditional vertical aging in bourbon barrels. With us, quality goes a step further. Ron Barceló is the only Dominican rum produced with 100% sugarcane juice from our own plantations. A bet on excellence that is conveyed to our products, thus confirming our company as an international benchmark in the industry, with a wide a variety of prestigious rums recognized worldwide for their innovation. Once the blend is achieved, Mizunara Cask is aged in virgin Japanese oak barrels to provide the complexity and unique flavour that distinguishes this exuberant rum. Barceló Imperial Mizunara Cask was born to fascinate the most demanding palates. It stands out for its exuberant purplish amber colour, which denotes its finishing in barrels that formerly contained Port, giving it a great harmony and a structured and characteristic profile. The profile on this rum is complex, likely a result of the careful and deliberate aging process. The sugar cane is harvested from local plantations before being double-distilled in their copper stills.
