Barceló Imperial Porto Cask: A masterful creation for the senses
News General news
Barceló Imperial Porto Cask is part of Barceló's Rare Blends Collection. Inspired by the iconic Imperial rum and using casks from different latitudes, this new spirit once again demonstrates the skills of Barceló's experts. From September, the noble rum liqueur in the 0.7 litre bottle will be available as a pre-launch exclusively in the online shop at Henkell Freixenet at an RRP of €44.99.
Barceló, the most imported brown rum in the world, is starting the summer with a special novelty: the Barceló Imperial Porto Cask. This rum liqueur is made from the nectar of the finest Dominican sugar cane, which Barceló sources from its own sugar cane fields. Like all of the high-quality Imperial rums, the rum for the Porto Cask is first carefully aged in ex-bourbon barrels made of American white oak. Then it is refined with an additional maturation ("cask finishing") in traditional Tawny 10 port wine casks. This gives it its complexity and the unique taste that makes this extravagant rum liqueur something very special.
The result: a light and silky taste experience with a lush, purple amber colour and full-bodied notes that will fascinate even the most discerning palates. Its bouquet of aromas is a delightful variety of fig cream and wild fruit jam, as well as pronounced notes of English butterscotch and dried cherries. Complemented by subtle, lingering wood notes, the rum liqueur is smooth and sweet with a long, lingering finish. Barceló Imperial Porto Cask is a true harmony for the senses and the perfect choice for anyone seeking an exquisite taste and an unforgettable experience.
"The expansion of the Imperial line once again strengthens the premium positioning of the exclusive rum brand," says Torben Jansen, Head of Marketing Spirits & Trade Marketing at Henkell Freixenet Germany. "Especially in gastronomy, the Barceló Rare Blends Collection creates more attention in front of and behind the bar due to its high-quality equipment and excellent taste experience."
After the pre-launch in the Henkell Freixenet online shop, the Porto Cask will also be available for gastronomy and e-commerce from autumn. However, the exciting journey continues: In the next few years, the Imperial Rare Blends Collection from Barceló has more surprises in store for the palate and the senses - we can look forward with anticipation.
