Sweet, roasted notes of cocoa, coffee and caramel lead, with honeyed dried fruit and citrus. Best as a cocktail base; several reviewers note a sharp, alcoholic bite and brief finish.

    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members highlight Bacardi Carta Negra as a dependable mixer with sweet, roasted flavors—cocoa/coffee, caramel, and honeyed dried fruit—over a citrusy, lightly woody nose. The finish is short and a bit sharp. Popular with 86 reviews and strong buyer confidence, it’s a solid Puerto Rican 4‑year column‑still choice for adding depth to simple highballs and 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.
