Barcelo Imperial Onyx

I’m a fan of the Barceló rums, so I was excited to see the Onyx for sale everywhere I went in DR. Picked up a bottle and enjoyed it. No complaints. It’s not as good as other “onyx/black” offerings out there though, IMO, so I think a 7 is fair.

En mycket lättdrucken men smakrik rom. Tydligen ska faten den lagras i vara extra tjärade och därmed ge en lite mer whiskeyinfluerad smak. Jag kan urskilja en del vanilj men inte så mycket wirre! Klart plus för den snygga flaskan. Inte ev av de bästa i skåpet men klart god!

I bought this at the Punta Cana airport, following a week of heavy Barcelo Imperial drinking. The product is mysterious, at the time of this writing, the official Barcelo website doesn't have any information on this rum. With the price I expected a lot more. Think Barcelo Imperial tries to 'Diplomatico', but doesn't quite get it.
