Bacardi Carta Oro 40%

RX2985 Average Column Still Rum <50€
“Smooth aroma, great for cocktails, lacking depth.”

Bacardi Carta Oro, a Puerto Rican rum distilled from molasses using a column still, offers a balanced aroma of caramel, popcorn, and lime. It features a caramelized taste with hints of coffee and a subtle bitterness. Consumers appreciate its smoothness and ability to enhance cocktails, especially renowned for Cuba Libre. However, some users find the flavor profile lacking for sipping neat. The rum's 40% ABV contributes to its versatility as a mixer, appealing to those looking for an accessible, entry-level spirit. While praised for its soft, buttery popcorn notes, seasoned rum enthusiasts may seek a more profound flavor depth. Ideal for mixed drinks.

“Achtung: Die Abfüllungen in Deutschland scheinen inzwischen alle von 40% auf 37,5% gesenkt worden zu sein. Die Datenbank ist nicht mehr korrekt, Neuanlage oder Anpassung wäre eventuell nötig. Im Vergleich zum Blanca ist hier schon deutlich mehr los. Sehr weich mit säuerlichen Anklängen, einem Hauch Popcorn und diversen Röstnoten. Klassische sehr kunge Cuba-Noten, aber ergänzt durch Frische. Pur bleibt es ähnlich, aber speziell dieser Hauch von buttrigem Popcorn tut sich hervor. Ich bin überrascht wie rund der Oro ist, wenn dabei auch super leicht und nichtssagend. Schöner Crowdpleaser in Longdrinks wenn keine Nerds anwesend sind ;)”
