A.F.D. Ron Barceló Imperial

Most enjoy its smooth sweetness, vanilla-caramel and good price; critics find it thin, short and clearly dosed. Consensus: simple, supermarket-friendly starter rum that works neat or with cola.

    How does this rum taste?

    Soft, sweet supermarket starter rum
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy smooth, sweet sippers like Diplomatico Mantuano or Havana Club Añejo Especial, this will feel familiar—just know it’s light, sugary and more about comfort than complexity.

    Not really suitable for

    Purists avoiding added sugar, drinkers seeking high complexity or strong ABV, and anyone who dislikes clearly sweetened, vanilla-driven Spanish-style rums.

    Aroma

    Vanilla Caramel Woody Sweet

    Another nice tasting finished, this time with rums from the Domenican Republic. In my mind this rum will be too sweet for many, but a good rum none the less. The complexity is hidden under the sweetness and in my mind it should have been amped up with a little more proof. Price tag is really good compared to what you get.

    Ein leichter, milder Rum ohne Ecken und Kanten, der Rum für jede Gelegenheit. Leichte Vanille und leichter Geschmack vom Fass, so auch im Geruch. Insgesamt gut, kann man nichts verkehrt machen und darf in der Bar nicht fehlen.

    Pleasant rum although the addition of sugar irritates me.

    My first rum and since then never anything but rum. Already drunk, there was rum only in selected stores. Mega taste and thanks to my friend Jan, who has 14 years ago a bottle (from the Dom. Republic.) credenzt. mega!!!
