A.F.D. Ron Barceló Imperial

Solid supermarket rum: sweet vanilla-caramel profile, very easy to drink, good price-performance, but simple, a bit light and with noticeable alcohol for the low ABV.

Community Top Voice
A very nice, balanced aroma, dried fruits, honey, caramel, on the palate with moderate but clearly noticeable sweetness, nice fruitiness, and a harmonious, intense, spicy cask influence. Overall relatively smooth, but quite good not just for the price.

    Not really suitable for

    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.

    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.

    Pleasant rum although the addition of sugar irritates me.
