    4.0/10 195 reviews

    I don't understand the low ratings. Yes it's a very standard rum, quite basic, but I find it to be perfectly fine. It is a little weaker than other rums at 35%, but otherwise quite decent.

    I like this rum

    Good for mixing cocktails

    This rum was never intended to be sipped neat. It is a pure mixer and so I will review it for how it was intended to be used. The idea behind carta blanca, as the name also implies, is to filter out as much as possible of the color and flavors of the rum to create something very neutral, almost like a vodka of rum of sorts. This allows other ingredients to shine, makes flavor prediction far easier for mixologists, and creates an excellent base for various rum infusions. As such this product is a great success. As a sipping rum this is a 2, as a mixer about 5 (somewhat overrated b/c lack of flavor starts to hold you back pretty quick) but as an infusion tool it’s a 7.
