if you have the opportunity, try the Barcelo Imperial Port cask. I was blown away by it! plums, chocolaty, coffee, figs, but still fresh due to column stills

I've been wanting to try that Barceló Imperial for a while now as well as the Barceló Imperial Onyx which I bet you'd love. This might've just moved it up my list.

Please review guyanese el dorado rums

speaking of massive upgrades, gotta say thats Steve himself. going from the dmf using bar bro (nothing against dmf really, they will always have a place in my heart), to the friendly pirate looking uncle in just a few years, along with probably the best advice on youtube when it comes to rums and now brandies as well. its been a fun few years following you and lets raise glasses to many more!

Hahaha...those were the days! Good old DMF. When it was Cornish, it was great. Now it's just mass produced stuff. Decent for big mass market... but not where I am these days.

Will you also do a deep dive with Seychelles rum?

Funny you mention that as my Event tonight is with Takamaka Rum. I have done a couple of things with Takamaka already...there was an Indepth Live Stream too. But when i will revisit on video, I'm not too sure.

You've made my day Stevo! 'Cuz there is Matusalem 15, my favourite out of those three, featured here!🤝🙏👌👍

Enjoying a Barcelo Imperial while watching, it's a nice sipper, and I quite enjoy it in a rum and coke too. Was not a big fan of 1888 though, and it's the same with sherry cask whiskeys too, just don't like the sherry notes.

Me too!!! I do like the Cuban Ron Cubay Anejo Suave... BUT... even though its Rum, I don't treat it as rum. More like a really good "Spiced Rum". But other Sherry Rums, nah, not for me!

Steve, although not DR, I was wondering if you’ve ever tried a Panamanian rum from Kaniche? I think they are part of the Ferrand portfolio. I see them at the Total Wine stores in the US. Quite tasty

Nope. Never heard of it 🧐

I don't fancy the Brugal one either, I got a bottle as a gift once and just ended up drinking it in rum and cokes. I prefer sherry aging on brandy or whisky not with rum.

I just got the matusalem and the cork broke off in it plus it has a strong rubber taste in my opinion 😓not a fan of

$48 Canadian here in Ontario, which is around £28 for the Barcelo Imperial. I think that might be one to pick up if I can ever find it in stock near me. I haven’t seen it in a while unfortunately. I appreciated this journey through DR, though I kind of got the sense you confirmed at the start of the video: there’s not a lot here. I wonder how the Barcelo compares to you to CR Legacy or the like? Or maybe the Angostura 7? (I love me some Ango 7…)

Yeah, follow up videos coming. Personally... the CR Legacy doesn't compare. Totally different style of Rum. But the Angostura's...while again they are different, it'd be my preference over DR Rums.
