Barceló Imperial 40 Aniversario (70cl, 43%)

Barceló Imperial 40 Aniversario is a blend of well-aged rum matured for up to 10 years in selected American oak casks, then finished for 2 years in French oak casks with different degrees of toasting. The master blender then selected the best parcels for a further 10 years of ageing in French oak casks. It has aromas of raisins, caramel, crème brûlée, dry spices and cherry. The palate is medium-dry and rounded, with fruit, nuts and spicy oak, leading to a long finish of pepper and tobacco. It can be drunk neat or with a good cigar, mature cheese, dark chocolate or red meat.
