Ron Barceló Imperial
Aged Rum — Dominican Republic

December 31, 2018 (edited April 7, 2022)
Day 24. Done with the advent calendar. A week late and a dollar short, but I made it.
Ron Barcelo Imperial is a Rum you see very often in several super markets. I'm usually sceptical of the Rum they sell because it usually is bottom tier, but this one is actually not bad.
Has the typical vanilla, brown sugar and bitter coffee/cocoa nose of less sweet rum, and a good one at that.
Taste is a bit of oak spices, vanilla toffee, with coffee adding some bitterness to it, and brown sugar and banana putting a touch of sweetness at the back end of the taste. Good stuff.
The aftertaste is a bit of bitter cocoa (coffee and cocoa kinda morph into each other in this one) and a touch of oak spices.
Not bad, especially for the price. Probably would not add it to my collection, but it's a decent sipping rum for now and then.
And with that I'm done for 2018. 9 hours left of this year, and I plan on spending those eating tons of unhealthy food (bacon, carbs, chips) and drinking cider and whisky. So I wish y'all a happy new year, and I'll see you in 2019. Stay awesome you magnificent people. Cheers.

Happy New Year, here’s to many quality drams in 2019
Nice review and happy new year.
@PBMichiganWolverine Best is probably a tie between the Caol Ila 25, Talisker 18 and surprisingly the Michter's. Worst was probably the Dalmore Port (I'm really starting to dislike Dalmore) and the Eagle Rare 10. Not that that one is bad, just very disappointing for all the hype around it.
Which was your best and worst from this year’s advent?
