A really soft and gentle rum, fruity and sweet. At the Price a very decent rum, a good sipper, and great for desserts.

Had a few rounds of this at a bar in the dominican republic. It's a good rum with a nice and soft scent of caramel and figs. The palette offer notes of burt sugar, oak and caramel, with a rather smoothe finish. Good value.

I am perhaps taken in by the products of other islands, or maybe I have been seduced by rums in other price points. But, I no longer see the Imperial as a sipping rum. It's solid, no doubt - with a shallower version of the characteristics of newer rums from other producers. But, it doesn't light my fire.

Excellent sipper, amazing in cocktails. Low price tag, but can easily compare to some rums twice the price. The onyx version is slightly better in my opinion, but this bottle looks better on the shelf.

I received this bottle as a gift. I had never seen it before in my part of the US. Such a great flavor and mouth feel. Tastes of Carmel and banana. Very smooth. I recommend this to anyone.

A bit flat on taste, lacking richness in aroma. Still, a decent Dominican companion.

An average rum that didn't charm me. You can feel its sharpness right from the start.

Exquisite rum with hints of caramel, tropical fruits, and oak. Smooth and well-balanced.
