Ziemlich sprittig und arm an Komplexität. Pur ist er für mich kein Genuss. Am Gaumen machen sich tropische Früchte und Vanille breit. Leider ist die Alkohol/Klebstoff-Note zu präsent. Als Mischgetränk ist er aber passabel.
This is the only Bacardi I can stomach. Really, very good. Great neat.
This rum is quite alright. I always compare the Bacardis with the Carta Blanca, but of course this one is a stunner :-) Still tastes slightly alcoholic and woody. Quite quick on the finish. One of the better Bacardis.
A pretty decent rum from Bacardi. I have it primarily for mixing, where woody and warm spices come through well. Not bad neat either, perhaps a little too alcoholic. Interestingly, the smell reminds me of black olives.
