Dominican Rum bursts from red apples!

Ron Barcelo are a Dominican Rum brand that is situated in San Pedro de Macoris. Julien Barcelo, a native of Mallorca, founded the company in 1930. It grew until the 1980s, when it really took off and became one of the most popular Rum brands in the Dominican Republic. It is now exported to around 50 countries and is an international favourite.
 
Awarded two Golds, including “Best In Category”, at the International Cane Spirits Festival, the Barcelo Imperial is excellent Rum. Aged between 4 and 10 years, this Rum is brimming with flavour. The characteristic sweetness of most Rums is lifted by the oaky, wooded notes the linger throughout. Bursts of red apple appear on the palate and give this Rum a good boost of juiciness. This is not an expression to be missed

A little bit of etymology; nobody really knows where the word Rum comes from. The most popular suggestions are Rum (the Romani word for 'potent'), Rumbullion (an uproar), Saccharum (sugar in Latin), and Rummer (a Dutch drinking glass).

James
James,
My second purchase of this rum and this is going to be my go to rum for now on. Great taste with a little sweet.
 
Ed
Ed,
Good flavor, nice color, sweet tones come in at the end. Smooth enough for sipping.
 
Chris
Chris,
I am brand new to Rum, but I really like this. Its more like a sweet bourbon to me than it is to Bacardi.
 
Roberto
Roberto,
I really have enjoyed all of Flaviar orders, but the Ron Barcelo Imperial was so good!! Muchas Gracias
 
Stephen
Stephen,
Smooth and mixes well with others. My preference is some ginger beer and bitters with some essence of fruit....orange or lemon. Will order again which I find myself writing very frequently. Should I worry about that?
 
Stuart
Stuart,
This was a pleasant rum, it’s pretty expensive though and there are better for less.
 
Daniel
Daniel,
I’m new to rum. But this was smooth and sweet. Beats most of the other rums I’ve had for sipping. Would buy again

Caramel nose. Very earthy flavor.
 
Floyd
Floyd,
This is what most American rum drinker are looking for, a rich sweet rum with a bourbonesque profile. I Personally, prefer the more "Rummie" flavors of the island backstreets but this bottle went very fast at the party!!!
 
Gloria
Gloria,
Love this rum. Great for sipping. Very smooth, not too sweet.
 
Arthur
Arthur,
This a fantastic rum. Not very spicy so it is a great choice if you're looking for a break from the spice variety. . The rum has a very oaky flavor, is sweet and has a nice smooth finish. Does not have a very strong bite - its a good rum to let sit in your mouth to enjoy all the flavors
 
Perry
Perry,
An amazing distillation, not overly spiced like alot of rum, very gentle mouthfeel, delayed warmth but no burn, subtle hints of vanilla and the main attraction is it's oak aged origin. Born in oak casks this rum has a toasted oak flavor that is perfection in itself. And that is to say it is not a green oak flavor. It is not a burnt oak flavor. It is a roasted/toasted oak flavor. Kudos to the tree that became that barrel, kudos to the cask maker , kudos to whoever charred the barrel to but not past a desirable flavor range. Taste like a bourbon so refined that anything but a cold glass and 3 ice cubes is blasphemous. If the bottle didn't say rum you'd never know.
 
Jernique
Jernique,
Very good. I just thought it was smooth and a little sweet like good rum usually is. It had a nice alcohol hit and no burn at the end. It felt velvety on the tongue and left all of its notes on you pallet as the taste melts away. Will buy it again. Haven’t tasted it mixed yet as I really enjoy it straight right now.
 
Christopher
Christopher,
Very smooth and flavorful. It works well in mixed drinks or on its own. Would definitely purchase again.
 
Steve
Steve,
Like it a lot not much after taste burn.
 
Lucas
Lucas,
Extremely smooth up front with just the slightest burn going down the throat then right back to a pleasant finish. One of the best rums I have had in a long time. Will definitely purchase again!
 
Alice
Alice,
I would not have thought to try this had it not been for the Flaviar recommendation based on my flavor profile. I am not usually a rum drinker--bourbon is my beverage of choice--and this was a great match. Bourbon-like, but sweeter, with caramel notes. Loved it! This opens the door for other rums, I think.
 
Bryan
Bryan,
Super smooth I love it!!!
 
Mark
Mark,
Worthy to try. Has a caramel & honey flavor; a bit smokey. Very easy to drink..
 
Kyle
Kyle,
This is fine sipping rum from the Dominican Republic. It will hold a candle to any high end rum on the market.
 
Burdell
Burdell,
It's not a bad rum but not one of the best. I'm more in favor for Brugal if I had a choice
 
John
John,
Not bad, but not quite smooth enough to be considered among the very best.
