Gold Reserve (Añejo)

Complex aromas shine despite a fleeting, thin finish.

Gold Reserve (Añejo) brings forward delicate caramel, oak, and dark chocolate aromas balanced with burnt sugar and tobacco on the palate.

    How does this rum taste?

    Gold Reserve (Añejo) from the Bacardi distillery in Puerto Rico offers an intriguing sensory journey. Distilled from molasses with a column still at 40% ABV, it opens with enticing notes of caramel, dark chocolate, oak, and tropical fruit. Our community of rum enthusiasts appreciates its aromatic complexity, even as many note a thin palate and short finish that doesn’t fully capture its premium promise. The balance of burnt sugar with hints of tobacco creates an interesting contrast, making it a conversation starter despite some reservations. RumX members value the historical significance and background of this rum, making it a thoughtful choice for collectors and those curious about Puerto Rican rum heritage.

    The liquid History of Puerto Rico - vielen Dank an Artur für die Teilung! Etwas Fasseinfluss, Holz, Vanille, nicht so schlecht.

    Arturs Puerto Rico Tasting, danke für die tolle Übersicht und Historie :-) Jetzt drei Bacardi Gold Reserve in Vergleich. Deutlich dunkler, Tabak, verbrannter Zucker, leichte Pfeffernoten. Gefällt, aber etwas dünn

    Grundsolider und in sich runder Rum, mit dezent überzogenem Preis 😅 schwarzer Pfeffer, dunkle Schokolade, gebranntes Karamell, angenehme Viskosität. Kann ich mir gut zur Zigarre vorstellen, wenn man drauf steht.

    The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Nr. 13 - sehr alkoholisch in der Nase, daneben Holz/ Fass und Vanille, etwas Nuss. Nicht mehr so wässrig wie die DonQ's. Alkohol in Gaumen und Abgang in Ordnung
