A.F.D. Ron Barceló Imperial

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.

Alcohol poorly integrated.

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.

Nez très agréable le caramel et le boisé font forte impression. En bouche l'attaque est douce, le boisé et le caramel restent présents... Ensuite plus rien. Une légère note de fût perdure à la finale mais de façon éphémère.

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!!!

Un rum leggero, assolutamente non complesso. Dolce e leggermente speziato.

Pleasant rum although the addition of sugar irritates me.

Keep away from this

6,9:On the nose, there is a quite balanced profile. The aromas that make up this profile are vanilla, wood, caramel, some nuts and a hint of orange/coconut with their sweetness. We cannot avoid bourbon fruits after some aeration, like peaches, cherry. . 6,9:On the palate, the attack is soft, honeyed, caramelized, but not sweet. The woodiness is present and even takes over the other aromas, without overpowering them. So, caramel is still present, as vanilla and a hint of bourbon fruitiness, there is still some peach, a hint of an alcohol, wood spice, roastedness, bitterness. 6,8:The finish is quite long and moderately sweet. It is dominated by the notes of bourbon ageing, so the wood, coconut, peaches, vanilla and some roasted nuts, perhaps leather.

Sample no.24 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2018. Nose have a faint vanilla scent that doesn’t really carry over to the palate. Only two things stand out; something sweet and something woody. Both nose and palate is very light. Not very good as a sipper and probably better as a mixer.

Easy sipper..... Goes down very well due to the low ABV. An ordinary rum from the supermarket around the corner. But one of the best in the range. Good for beginners. I wouldn't buy a second bottle of this.

Good entry-level rum with good PLV.

Attractive packaging but disappointing rum, admittedly at a low price. Fairly good value for money. It lacks length, depth, power and even fruitiness. But there's nothing unpleasant about it either.

It's not such a hit neat, but as a mixer, it's better than bacardi, captain and co. This rum was taken along purely as a mixer when it was on offer, where the alcoholic notes are clearly evident when pure.

A certain sweetness is noticeable in this rum. The aromas and drinkability are okay, the price is good. Probably quite suitable for beginners.
