    How does this rum taste?

    • Rich caramel flavor
    • Smooth sipping experience
    • Aromatic complexity

    The Bacardi "Reserva Limitada," distilled in Bermudas from molasses using a column still, is a limited edition rum known for its balanced 40% ABV profile. With aromas of burnt sugar, vanilla, fruits, and leather, the sip unfolds with caramel, vanilla, and woody notes. While favored for its smooth, rounded sweetness, it draws mixed feedback on its overly sweet palate and modest complexity, making it a divisive choice among enthusiasts. Tasting notes suggest a slightly underwhelming experience for its premium price tag, yet it remains a noteworthy expression from Bacardi’s heritage.

    "This is a very nice sipper from Bacardi. Not at all pretentious but just an excellent rum. The average age of the rum released today is 12 years, slightly under what ir was when first released. "

    "Dégustation des rhums de Puerto Rico d’Artur. Un nez faible avec des fruits jaunes, de la douceur et de l’alcool neutre. En bouche on retrouve d’abord des fruits jaunes, puis du caramel, caramel brûlé et du bois. La finale est courte avec de la pomme et du caramel brûlé. Décidément ces Bacardi premiums ne valent en aucune façon leur prix élevé. Pourtant le meilleur de la série."

    "Leider insgesamt deutlich zu süß. Dafür aber Aromatisch spannender wie der 8 "Ocho" mit den typischen Tabak und gebranntes Karamell Noten die ich mit Puerto Rico und Kuba oft assoziiere. Die süße stört mich hier leider enorm."
