A Rare Expression of Dominican Craftsmanship in Every Sip
From the fertile sugarcane fields of the Dominican Republic comes a bold and refined expression: Barceló Imperial Maple Cask, part of the esteemed Rare Blends Collection. Crafted from the finest cane nectar, this complex spirit is distilled in traditional copper stills, aged in oak barrels with varying toast levels, and then finished in authentic maple wood casks. This unique finishing imparts a luxurious depth of flavour, delivering a richly aromatic and silky sipping experience.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Deep amber-brown with reddish hues; viscous body with long, thick legs.
Nose: A bouquet of fruity and floral notes, interwoven with melted caramel, plum, vanilla, and sweet maple syrup.
Palate: Soft, sweet entry transitions into a medley of oak, dried fruits, and roasted complexity. A smooth, lingering finish that’s both long and silky.
Serving Suggestion:
Enjoy neat at room temperature, or slightly chilled in a short rum glass. Pair with fine cigars, dark chocolate, mature cheeses, or chargrilled red meats for an elevated tasting journey.
