Bacardi 151
Most agree: huge burn, little flavor, good only as a high-proof mixer. Critics find it flat, harsh and one-dimensional. Consensus: rum concentrate for parties, not serious sipping.
Party hosts and cocktail tinkerers needing a brutal high-proof base to spike punches or tiki-style drinks where a small pour delivers serious warmth and alcohol impact.

How does this rum taste?
Brutal party fuel, not a sipper
If you want rum flavor, look elsewhere; if you need a tiny pour to supercharge cocktails or late-night parties, this does the job—just treat it with respect.
Newcomers, neat-sippers, and anyone sensitive to high ABV or looking for complexity; most find it too harsh, flat, and unforgiving on its own.

I think possibly too strong for its own good.
Tasted 10-04-2017 This is bacardis zombie rum and it's a flat as a pancake . It just doesn't deliver on anything other than high proof no flavour . To be fair what I expect from a column still rum that's produced by them .
Pure, it's a punch in the face with a rum aroma. We call it "Blinker links", because you pass everyone else with it. Especially recommended if you arrive late at a party and want to make up a few meters quickly. I was happy to buy the liter for €25 and have always made do with this rum concentrate for a long time. The taste is indistinguishable from cola if you only use half for a mixture. Unfortunately no longer available since 2016.
Auto-translatedIdeal for giving big fruity punches an alcoholic kick, or have it neat and kick yourself in the face.
