"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."
"Mouais"
"Ziemlich sprittig und arm an Komplexität. Pur ist er für mich kein Genuss. Als Mischgetränk ist er aber passabel."
