Ron Barcelo Imperial
Award winning rum from Ron Barcelo, which was awarded by the prestigious Beverage Testing Institute of Chicago as the best rum in the world, carrying the badge of being the first rum to get the highest score in the history of this institute: 97/100. Bright coppery amber colour. Aromas of cream butter, dried cherries, intensive vanilla, pineapple jam and caramelized walnuts followed by a soft entry into a dry but fruity, medium and lush body with great depth and balance. It ends with a carrot cake ice cream taste, cola nut, mocha and a robust roasted flavour that slowly dissipates. The Imperial Barcelo was introduced in 1980 as their top bottle in the range at the time. Ron Barcelo is a family run firm that was established in 1929 but it was not until 1950 before rum was coming out of their doors.
Rum Explorer Caribbean Blend Rum
The Cellar Master got the idea of blending rums from several countries of the Caribbean region, in order to create a rum that will have all the qualities of its constituents and then will be very aromatic, complex and round in mouth. The aromas are very rich but not aggressive, mixing notes of roasted pineapple, ripe banana, mango, candied fruits and nuts. The palate is round, smooth and supple, ending with notes of liquorice and vanilla. Chateau de Breuil, a real flavour explorer, has selected great rums over the years, produced according to tradition with respect for quality passed down through generations. They all come from the best local distilleries, renowned in their countries of origin. Distilled as small limited series, they will be snapped up.
