Review by Timo Groeger
Dachte grad echt, ich hätte nen Caroni im Glas :) War ein Versehen. Hatte aber gute Caroni-Noten in der Nase, bis ich gemerkt habe ist gar kein Caroni. Trotzdem ok, leicht süßlich, Karamell ist gut erkennbar. Thanks to Chris..
Review by Timo Groeger
Auch ein sehr solider Rum. Karamell, Kokosnuss und Schokokade in der Nase. Am Gaumen bleibt es dann leicht süßlich. Wieder Schokolade und Kokosnuss, allerdings wird es auch recht röstig, Kakao und Kaffee sind erkennbar.

Urlaubs-Mitbringsel aus Punta Cana. Sehr süffig und ideal für einen entspannten Abend.
Review by Nicofr
Dégusté à l'aveugle, très boisé en goût avec un penchant caramélisé. J'ai également senti un léger fond de vin rouge, peut être du au fût ... ? L'alcool est assez présent pour 45%et mériterait d'être mieux intégré.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Positive Überraschung! Mizunara cask bringt die für mich typischen Noten nach Ingwer, Weihrauch, Kaffee, intensiven Tanninen und etwas Birne mit. Untermalt von dem typischen Dom Rep Noten aus Kokos, Schokolade, Karamell und Vanille. Insgesamt leicht rauchig aber total angenehm und samtig zu trinken. Easy sipping aber dennoch mit einer schönen Komplexität damit es nicht zu schnell langweilig wird. Die 43% sind ebenfalls wirklich gut gewählt. Wenn man bedenkt wie teurer Mizunara Fässer sind finde ich den Preis von ca 60€ durchaus fair. Gelungenes Finish!👏🏼
Review by abaker-rum
This an appreciable improvement on the regular Imperial. The Mizunaro oak adds complexity with baking spice, incense, and char notes to the sweet caramel and vanilla profile of the Barcelo Imperial. Would reach for this pour again.
Review by ZLako98
Great stuff. I love mizunara in whisky and it works wonders in this rum too. Woody. Oaky. Spicy. Lovely. 43% abv is a great addition too.
Review by Necron
Courtesy of RumX. This rum invites you with its strong alcoholic and spicy taste. Overall it smells sweet (vanilla) and then a little woody. The alcohol masks a lot so you do have to pay attention. When you taste it, brace yourself, it is very spicy and alcoholic. It completely caught me off guard (even after I have been drinking rum for over ten years). I would primarily recommend it for mixers as it needs to be diluted a bit. The flavour it brings will surely give a much needed punch in the cocktails. I only recommend it to experienced rum tasters unless you add a bunch of sweetness to it :)

Review by Johannes
Gute Einsteigerrum! Viel Fasseinfluss mit Vanillinnoten, nicht gesüßt. Von Mizunara kann ich nichts schmecken. Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein.
