How does this rum taste?
Ron Barceló Imperial Premium Blend 40 Aniversario is a Dominican rum created at the Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos distillery. Distilled from sugarcane juice, it's aged for 12 years, offering a 43% ABV. Users highlight its aroma of sweet caramel, raisins, and woody notes, with flavors ranging from dry and nutty to oak and prunes. The rum is praised for its appealing caramel and vanilla tones but occasionally criticized for being underwhelming for the price. While the packaging is notably attractive, some find it less complex but suitable for beginners. It is considered a pleasing offering for dessert pairings, though opinions are mixed about its cost-effectiveness as an anniversary release.

Retasting and leaving the original note 😊 This is a pretty reasonable rum that could do well for deserts in my mind. The nose starts out with sweet caramel and fruits followed with vanilla and light wood. Tha palate is lightly dry with fruit, caramel and spices. The lightly dry palate also serves up ginger nuts and tobacco with some oak. The finish is medium long with oak and raisin followed by licorice and some tobacco. Price to quality is kind of OK thinking that this is an anniversary release.
Guter Rum für Anfänger ohne große Komplexität. Vanille, Kaffee, etwa Holz.
Surprisingly dry and tasty Barcelo and a super nice color! Great nose of coconut, cinnamon, tobacco and prunes. On the palate there is ginger, honey, some fresh citrus fruit, slightly nutty and spicy, plus prunes and raisins and again tobacco, as well as dark chocolate. All in all, amazingly complex and full-bodied, it is quite certain to be unsweetened. A positive surprise.
The best Barcelo i tried so far. Nice caramel flavors with a touch of wood and some raisins. Maybe even a bit of coffee in the background. Very nice.
