    Great for cocktails
    Sweet honey and fruit notes
    Solid value for mixers

    Sweet, woody, and fruity notes lead Bacardi's Carta Negra, with hints of honey and roasted flavours revealed on the palate. RumX tasters find it best as a mixer, where its caramel and coffee touches can shine without overpowering. Worth a sip for those seeking a solid, sweet dark rum for cocktails.

     Edit: found a used bottle deep in the cupboard, but it doesn't even work as a blender anymore. Actually only suitable as a blender and even here it's not my first choice.

     Day trip Bielefeld April 2025. Three Sixty pub. Another rum that I wouldn't buy in my life, but it's okay. Slightly alcoholic and woody on the nose. Then slightly roasted on the palate and coffee is recognizable.

     the color and black branding and name (negra=black) suggest a flavorful dark or maybe well aged Rum, but as its priced just as the other cheap Baccardis its obviously none of that. The taste reminds me a lot of Havana 3 years, wich I prefer though. I assume a similar age. The color comes from LOTS of coloring then.

     A slightly sweet smell, a bit woody, not unpleasant.The taste can not quite keep up, slightly fruity and sweet with quite sharp finish.
