A Masterpiece to Celebrate Four Decades of Dominican Rum Heritage
Barceló Imperial Premium Blend 40 Aniversario is a commemorative, limited-edition rum created to honour the 40th anniversary of the iconic Barceló Imperial. Crafted from a selection of the finest past reserves, this exceptional spirit is double-aged—first in American and French oak barrels with varying toast levels, then rested in European oak vats. The result is a rich and refined sipping experience, paying homage to a legacy of craftsmanship.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Bright coppery-brown with deep golden hues
Nose: Harmonious notes of crème brûlée, caramelised raisins, dried cherries, and warm baking spices
Palate: Smooth and semi-dry with evolving nutty, spiced layers imparted by fine European oak. Balanced and complex
Finish: Long, elegant finish with hints of pepper leaf and refined tobacco—truly made for connoisseurs
Serving Suggestion:
Sip neat in a wide-bowled glass to fully appreciate its evolution. Pairs beautifully with fine cigars, aged cheeses, dark chocolate desserts, or select cuts of steak.
