Ron Barcelo Imperial Onyx Rum

Ron Barcelo Imperial Onyx Rum is a dark Dominican rum from Ron Barceló, bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml matte black bottle. It is a blend of selected rums aged for up to ten years in oak barrels with a high degree of toast, a heavier char than the medium-light char typical of other premium rums, and the blend is then filtered through real onyx stones. Barceló distils from the fermented juice of estate-grown Dominican sugar cane, not from molasses. The producer describes a mahogany colour with amber shades and a robust, structured body, and suggests it both for sipping and for classic and contemporary cocktails. It has been awarded medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
