Ron Barcelo Imperial Ron Dominican Rum, 70 cl

Product Information

With the idea of expanding the brand, in the 90s Barceló & Co. gave a group of Spanish businessmen, with a long history of producing wines and spirits, the rights to export Ron Barceló. These entrepreneurs founded Ron Barceló SRL.. In 2006, by then sold on 25 international markets, Ron Barceló SRL. took over Ron Barceló completely, with the third generation Barceló's, namely the Barceló Díaz and Garcia families, remaining on the Board of Directors. This ultra-premium rum follows in the footsteps of Barceló Imperial Porto Cask, and Barceló Imperial Mizumara Cask. Vizcaya represents a full product line from Oliver & Oliver, naming this expression after the impressive age of the spirit. It’s aged for an average of 18-21 years in bourbon barrels and is made from fresh cane juice instead of molasses. Its corporate vision is to promote social well-being while maintaining its commercial operations. To do so, Barceló involves its collaborators in community initiatives. Since 2009, the company has launched multiple social programmes through its AFD-Barceló Foundation, in partnership with Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos.

On the nose, you’ll find notes of roasted coffee, milk chocolate, and dried apricots. The palate is full-bodied with distinct notes of cherries, cinnamon, raisins, caramelized apples, candied oranges, and sweet strawberries. This wonderful medley of delightful flavors is topped off with a long, simple finish of toffee. 5. Brugal XV Rum This classic, beachy recipe requires the use of a real coconut. If you can’t get one you can still make the drink, but it’s better to go after the true experience. Translated as “crazy coconut,” it’s famous among locals and while many variations exist, nothing beats the original recipe. The Ron Barceló brand was introduced in 1930 by Spanish immigrant Julian Barceló, domestically Ron Barceló is widely accepted as the market leader. You can find a lot of history on the Barceló and Dominican rum in general at the Dominican Rum Guide. Ron Barceló is the most exported Dominican brand, reaching more than 80 countries around the world. Each of its bottles is a symbol of its own country’s culture. In the Dominican Republic, Barceló is known for its exacting quality standards and is recognised for its positive impact on the country’s environment and socio-economic conditions. An international presenceIn the glass Barceló Anejo reveals itself to be a nice golden/orange colour. The nose is pretty muted and uninspiring. A little alcohol and some light vanilla. There’s nothing wrong with the nose but little to get excited about either. The hydrometer test shows a little added sugar – I don’t think this has much influence it may smooth out some of the rougher edges. It doesn’t detract from this being a more authentic style of rum. A younger expression from Brugal, their XV Rum is a blend of rums, aged first in white American oak barrels for three to eight years. They are then aged for an additional two to three years in ex Pedro Zimenex sherry casks. The result is the perfect combination of dry and sweet with incredible smoothness. This rums popularity in Spain is down to its mixability and competive price. The Spanish (like me) really enjoy a rum and cola.

Overall, the Ron Barcelo Imperial Rum is matured for ten years, finishing with two years in horizontal French oak barrels. This is contrary to the traditional vertical aging in bourbon barrels. That same year the bottles for Ron Barceló Imperial, Gran Añejo and Añejo were redesigned and a new era began. To reach international standards of energy efficiency and environment protection, it also made important investments in infrastructure, training and human capital, which led to generating energy through solar panels and biomass, building a carbon dioxide (CO2) recovery plant and fertilising cane fields with a by-product of distillation called vinasse, which is rich in nutrients. An iconic brand, close to its community Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. The nose here is quite complex with many different aromas to navigate. First, you find notes of wood and spice soon followed by almond and butterscotch. Leave it to breathe for a moment and you’ll find that notes of vanilla, banana peel, and oranges emerge.

The Story

This feature was originally published in the November 2021 issue of The Spirits Business magazine. How localised is the production process of Ron Barceló rum?

years later, in 2001, it partnered with a group of Spanish entrepreneurs to create a strategic alliance with the aim of selling products all over the world, with the exception of the Dominican Republic. In 2002, Barceló & Co separated itself of its global operations and the Barceló Díaz and García families created a new company, called Añejos Barceló, now Ron Barceló S.R.L.. In 2006, this company acquired the Barceló rum rights in its country. From that moment, the brand set its new precedent in sales volume, portfolio expansion, positioning, innovation and internationalisation. The Dominicans’ rum At Bar Convent Berlin (BCB) 2023, we spoke with Otto Flores, Ron Barceló global brand ambassador, to learn more about this special bottling. It is made from exclusive reserves of Barceló Imperial Rum, which have been aged for more than a decade under the meticulous attention of master rum maker Eduardo Galíndez.

Když Kryštof Kolumbus přivezl cukrovou třtinu do Karibiku, netušil, že tím položí základ pro světovou produkci rumu a tím otevře úspěšnou kapitolu v celé Karibské oblasti.

Shrnutí: Tento rum jsem podrobil opravdu náročným testům :-) , srovnával jsem s celou řadou rumů, které se u mě sešly. A patří k tomu nejlepšímu, co jsem poslední dobou ochutnal. Stroh 40, Abuelo Añejo, Matusalem 15y, ti všichni zůstali ve stínu Imperialu, jediný rum, který dopadl ještě lépe, byla Angostura 1824, ale tam už jsme v úplně jiné cenové relaci. Imperial seženete už kolem 550,-Kč, takže další muzikant, který vám zahraje hodně muziky za málo peněz.

Brugal is another well-known distillery in the Dominican Republic, offering a selection of fine, versatile, high-quality rums. Brugal 1888 is aged for up to fourteen years and has won a Gold Medal at the 2017 Global Rum Masters in the Ultra Premium category. Barceló Imperial Maple Cask is a rum that boasts a dark amber-brown colour and reddish tones, akin to maple leaves in autumn, and ochre colour of the stills in which the rum is made. The liquid delivers aromas of melted caramel, plum, vanilla, and maple honey. The distillery was founded by Andres Brugal Montaner. Originally Spanish, he moved his family to the Dominican. He began experimenting with distillation and cane juice while still in Cuba, though, giving him some experience to build on. He opened the distillery almost immediately after settling in the Dominican Republic in 1888. Barceló is the name and brand of a variety of rums from the Dominican Republic produced by Ron Barceló S.R.L. Barceló has its plant and distillery in San Pedro de Macorís.

An iconic brand, close to its community

Julian Barcelo emigrated in 1929, moving from Spain to Santo Domingo where he founded Barcelo & Co. He began perfecting his craft before launching the Ron Barcelo label in 1950 which has grown into a well-known Dominican rum, distilled using only 100 percent Dominican sugar cane juice. At the end of the day there are a lot of rums on the market that are better than this at a similar price point. Better examples of this style of rum as well such as Don Q Gold or Ron Cubay Anejo. The Brugal family recipes are guarded closely, shared only with trusted family. They are passed down through the generations and anyone who takes on the job of overseeing the process must ensure the traditions of the distillery and their recipes are upheld. For almost 100 years, Ron Barceló has maintained its status as the Dominicans’ rum, bringing flavours and textures from its country to foreign consumers.
