    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
