A.F.D. Ron Barceló Imperial Rare Blend Maple Cask
"Nice bold nose but in taste the sweetness is dominating other notes" pretty much sums up the crowd here. The maple finish runs the show — think maple syrup, chocolate, caramel and honey all leaning sweet. A few tasters found it pleasant for an evening pour, though several wished it weren't watered down at 40%. Easy, simple, and clearly sweetened rather than complex.

Review by Michael Janek
vánoce 2024, Sobotovice ve vůni cítím mokré podzimní listi z javoru (žluté a cervene), hlavně ty tlusté stonky v chuti je nasladlé, jemně čokoládové, velmi mírně ovocné, hodne příjemné
Review by Kuba Boháč
A pleasant surprise! Sweeter stuff, but I could drink 2 or 3 shots. Maple syrup on the finish.
Review by Jindrich Strobl
Nice bold nose but in taste the sweetness is dominating other notes.
Review by Peter Sjoroos
Nothing special, had hoped for more but just slightly more interesting than the standard Barcelo
Review by Pavel Spacek
Standard sweetened taste
Review by Richard Krupa
Better than the usual imperial and imperial onyx, interesting but very sweet, thick as maple syrup
