Ron Barcelo Rum Imperial Onyx

This deep amber-hued rum offers a caramel aroma, with an intriguing hint of violet. The silky palate opens with caramel and brown butter, accented by dried fig and walnut, finishing long and gently spiced. Made with a blend of rums aged for 10 years in ex-Bourbon casks with heavy char, then filtered through onyx stones. That unique filtration may not add much except a point to contemplate while sipping, which is highly encouraged.

The rich, meaty Imperial Onyx rum derives its name from the fact that it has been filtered through black onyx stones. The result is a rum thick with nuances of burnt orange peel, black cherries, and semisweet toasted oak, with a touch of milk chocolate on the finish.
