Barceló Imperial An excellent Dominican rum, Barceló Imperial was awarded a Gold Medal and also the coveted "Best In Category" title at the 2008 International Cane Spirits Festival.
This is aged for between 4 and 10 years, and offers a superb flavour profile. In 1929 Spaniard Julián Barceló arrived in Santo Domingo and founded Barceló & Co. In 1974, Don Julián Barceló handed over the reins to his nephew Miguel Barceló and in 1980 Ron Barceló Imperial was born.
This is one of the more premium rums in the Barceló portfolio. Only the Imperial Onyx and 30 year Anniversary Imperial Blend are more expensive.
Nose: Fresh, buttery and creamy on the nose, with hints of sweet nuts, caramelised fruit and oak.
Palate: Dark brown sugar, toffee apples, stewed fruits, malmsey, oak and spices.
Finish: Long, good length and texture with hints of cedar wood and cigar leaves.
