How does this rum taste?
- Fruitige tonen, banaan komt vooral naar voren
- Nose is light and a bit sweet
- A nice surprise and definitely one you can enjoy
There’s a subtle interplay of vanilla, caramel, and honey on the nose, followed by definite oak and a bit of coconut lingering underneath. On the palate, users repeatedly mention a woody character alongside sweet caramel, mango, and fruit notes, but opinions split: some call it “sehr neutraler Run mit leichter holziger Note” (@derschwarm63@gmail.com), while others find it “extrêmement mince et dilué” (@crazyforgoodbooze). For many, it offers a mellow, lightly sweet profile with faint fruit and wood highlights. It’s not a bold spirit, but a few found pleasant surprises in its balance.

"I got this one from a friend because he wanted to tease me, but he failed because though I don't like Bacardi I was nicely surprised. The nose is light and a bit sweet. Vanilla is very obvious with oak without overpowering the caramel, coconut and honey. The palate is sweet fruity with cinnamon, peat and oak. A nice surprise and definitely one you can enjoy without mixing. The finish is medium long, warm and sweet. "
"Would have expected a little more here, even if I'm not a Bacardi fan anyway. Seems extremely thin and watered down and strangely smoky like Scotch whisky... Unfortunately quite a disappointment."
"smells better than it tastes. taste of alcohol flat, bland, maybe a little tobacco"
"Too much caramel for my taste, even though it's fairly well blended with red, dried fruit. What saves it is a certain freshness."
