Bacardi Gold
Most agree: thin, alcoholic and medicinal, with light apple and spice. Critics call it harsh and shallow, but the consensus is it works as a cheap mixer when nothing better is around.
Party drinkers wanting a familiar, inexpensive rum for simple Cuba Libres or basic mixed drinks, who care more about price and availability than depth or sipping quality.

How does this rum taste?
Cheap mixer, not a sipper
If you mainly mix rum with cola and just need something cheap and easy to find, this will do the job—but if you enjoy sipping neat, you’ll likely want to skip it.
Rum fans seeking flavor, complexity or a smooth sipper; anyone sensitive to solvent-like alcohol notes or looking for a characterful standalone pour.

Just wanted to give this a try. Expected it to be pretty bad but actually is not bad. Aroma is very pleasant, flavors of apple, apricot maybe guava with caramel and spice. Not a great sipper but not as bad as I expected.
Am Flughafen entdeckt diesen Rum und da er noch fehlte einfach bestellt. Hatte ihn mir schlimmer vorgestellt. Neben einer leichten Fruchtnote ist er überwiegend alkoholisch. Etwas Nagellack lässt sich erkennen. Kein Meisterstück.
On The Rocks: On the nose a strong apple and spice with mild alcohol. Taste is shallow with an apple and spice with a very mild oak and burn. Finish is short starting sweet and going a little bitter. I would not go out of my way to drink this unmixed. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose mild apple and sweet fruit. Taste reveals a mild sweet apple taste. Finish is short with the sweetness fading to slightly bitter. Not really much better mixed but is drinkable.
Bitter with bit of burn
