Nice and smooth fruity taste. Short finish, but very drinkable.
For a higher rating, I'm looking for a richer taste, but this is a great rum for the value.
Thirsty for more!

Ordered Barceló but the bar had none, so they gave us the imperial. Crazy smooth with a great taste. If only I could always get the imperial for the cost of the añejo.

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.

My first rum from dominican republic today. Ron Barcelo Imperial. Great name - so let's see if his name lives up to its promise :-).
Nose : caramel and wood. Nothing extraordinary but surprising intensive for this low budget.
Palate : caramell again, chocolate, sweet with a light sharpness, nutty moments, licorice with oak. Tobacco ? Yes, maybe. Interesting.
Finish : long. Rum-typical with licorice. Maybe hints of banana.
Conclusion : this rum has a fantastic price/performance ratio. For round 20 Euro here in Germany you won't find a better one. Less added sugar (~7 g/l) and in comparison to Malecon 18 years such a surprising full body. Optimal for newcomers.

There are toffee and sweet brown sugar aromas with the slightest hint of oakiness. There's a light sweetness to the rum initially and then fills your mouth with toffee. Not very complex at all but it’s extremely tasty. Cola didn’t come close to this rum. It's a mood rum for me. End of the week rum and life is good!

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.
