Barcelo
Imperial 40 Aniversario Premium Blend

Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Date Tasted:
Country: Dominican Republic
Alcohol: 43%
Dark amber color. Buttery aromas and flavors of butterscotch, cola nut, brown butter maple baked apple, and right out of the oven raisin date muffin with a creamy, vibrant, off-dry medium-full body and a warming, epic, long finish with notes of roasted apricot, marzipan, banana, and allspice. A world class rum that is a symphony of maple, spice, sun-ripened fruit and pastry shop flavors, all with a wisp of smoke.
