Ron Barcelo Imperial Rare Blends Porto Cask 40% 700ml information

The Ron Barcelo Imperial Rare Blends Porto Cask is a unique and exotic rum hailing from the Dominican Republic, crafted by the esteemed Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos distillery. Part of the distillery's "Rare Blends" series, this exceptional rum is produced from premium molasses and boasts a 40% ABV. Distilled and blended from former Barcelo Imperial reserves aged between 8 and 10 years in ex-Bourbon barrels, it undergoes an additional year of aging in Tawny Port barrels. This port cask finish imparts a generous and harmonious flavor profile that artfully bridges the gap between rum and port wine.

On the nose, Ron Barcelo Imperial Rare Blends Porto Cask exudes bright and fruity aromas of berry compote and wild fig. The palate is treated to delightful notes of butterscotch, marasca cherry, and cola bottles. Despite the pronounced port influence, the rum maintains a smooth and balanced character, making it an intriguing choice for both rum enthusiasts and port aficionados alike.

This rum is part of the Rare Blends Collection, which involves maturing the rum in various degrees of toasted oak before finishing in ex-Tawny Port casks. It is best savored neat or on the rocks and pairs beautifully with a fine dessert or cheese. Notably, in 1980, Barcelo first produced the ten-year-old "Ron Barcelo Imperial," and two decades later, it was awarded "Best Rum of the World" by the Beverage Testing Institute of Chicago, scoring 97 out of 100 possible points. This specific variant emerges from the Rare Blends, composed of an average of ten-year-old rum aged in original Tawny Port casks. Its aroma of English butterscotch and dried cherries makes it especially delightful when served pure or on ice.
