The Ron Barcelo Imperial 40th Anniversary Premium Blend is a distinguished rum celebrating over 40 years of the Barcelo legacy in the Dominican Republic. Conceived in 1980, this exceptional rum undergoes a meticulous five-step production process. It starts with the processing of sugar cane to extract its sweet juice, which is then fermented with yeast to reach an alcohol content of 7-8%. The next phase involves continuous distillation in a column still, resulting in a high-proof liquid that is aged for several years in a combination of specially-selected American and French oak casks. This aging process imparts complex flavors, and the final blend is crafted under the watchful eye of the Master Blender. The Ron Barcelo Imperial 40th Anniversary Premium Blend boasts an ABV of 43% and comes in a 700ml bottle. Aromas of mocha coffee, melted caramel, baking spices, black cherries, and honey-drizzled raisins fill the nose. On the palate, you will encounter notes of roasted nuts, crème brûlée, warm spices, dried fruit, tobacco leaves, and black pepper. The finish is a lingering blend of oak, raisin, licorice, and tobacco. This rum is significantly smoother than the 30-year edition, offering delightful caramel notes, a touch of vanilla, dark dried fruits, and minimal wood influence. Although the alcohol presence is slightly dominant in the aftertaste, it is fleeting and does not detract from the overall experience. The Ron Barcelo Imperial 40th Anniversary Premium Blend stands out as the best Barcelo rum, with flavors of caramel, a hint of wood, raisins, and undertones of coffee. It is a high-quality rum offered at a very reasonable price, beautifully packaged, and a perfect addition to any rum collection or for use in desserts where its sweet and complex flavors can truly shine.
