Barceló Imperial is a blend of rums, aged in ex-bourbon barrels, ranging in age up to 10 years. Twice chosen "The Best Rum in the World" by the Beverage Testing Institute of Chicago, it is the first rum to achieve the rating of 97 out of 100. Barceló Imperial is uniquely different from other Dominican rums because it is made from the fermented juice of sugar cane and not from molasses. The result is a smoother, more well-rounded taste that showcases the true characteristics of the sugar cane.The sugar cane that is the source for Barceló Imperial is estate grown in the Dominican Republic (versus other rum producers who source sugar cane or molasses on the open market). This commitment to quality ensures that only the best and most brilliant sugar cane goes into Barceló Imperial. Barceló employs several measures to reduce its carbon footprint. As a result, Barceló Rum became the first rum in the world to obtain Carbon Neutral Status under the Bilan Carbone® License.
