Barcel 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. Barcel Imperial is uniquely different from other Dominican rums because it is made from the fermented juice of sugar cane and not from molasses.
