Barcelo Imperial Onyx

Lækker room med noter af røg vanille og eg. Kan absolut anbefales hvis du er til en rom der er lidt røget.

I didn't try original barcelo but this one was very solid. Flavours of fruit, vanilla, oak and a lot of smoke. Little bit less smoke and more wood in taste and it could be 8.

EDIT: after couple of another sips I have to admit that it is better than I remember from first glass.

Not too sweet, strong flavour of oak (almost too much). Needs to rest in the glass. Otherwise a really good rum from Barcelo, well worth the money

The Barcelo Imperial Onyx owes its name to the filtering proces through onyx stones. Before that it is aged for 10 years in charred bourbon casks. This gives the rum a great complexity, which is very pleasant.
It's got a beautiful mahogany colour and a sweet and fruity nose. The fruit comes back in the tasting, together with some gentle oak. The sweetness is not overpowering the rest of the flavour. It is finished with a great fruity aftertase, which stays in the mouth pleasantly long.

Full, heavy, dark taste, rum for the real man. Blackberries. It's going way better with time.

Not just a mix-rum, also a good sipper, not too sweet and smoother than the regular! Good rum for the price.

I’m not sure what the difference is between this and the regular version. It’s a bit smoother and sweeter but with some complexity lost. The regular is better

I find the Barcelo Imperial (less expensive by $10 at least here in Ont. Can.) to be better. I found the "Onyx" rum rather heavier on the palette than I prefer. The bottle looks sharp though and I won't hesitate to buy it again.

Great smell, taste too sharp... What else to say...

Interesting find at the same price of regular imperial. More complete perhaps and full bodied. Strong burnt. Not my favorite but still good to sip
