Bacardi Carta Negra

On RumX, consensus lands Carta Negra as a solid cocktail base, with sweet, caramelised fruit and just enough woodiness to keep it interesting. One to try if you enjoy mixing with sweeter spirits.

5.2  / 10  (86 reviews)

Sweeter style rum, good mixer, hints of roasted notes.

    How does this rum taste?

    • good for cocktails
    • sweetness and dried date or raisin
    • guter Mixer - unter 10€ findet sich da kein Vergleich

    Bacardi Carta Negra leans into sweet, fruity, and woody flavours, with members frequently picking up notes of honey, caramel, and dried fruit. The sweetness stands out, sometimes described as "enorm süß im Vergleich zum Blanca" (@Schnapsschuesse), but overall the rum comes across as soft, with a touch of roast or coffee. Some notice a sharper edge and a bit of alcohol punch, especially noted by @Smighty: "the alcoholic burn is a bit stronger for me." Most find it well-suited as a mixer—good for cocktails, but rarely a sipper.

    "Tagesausflug Bielefeld April 2025. Kneipe Three Sixty. Auch ein Rum den ich so im Leben nicht kaufen würde, dafür ist er aber ganz okay. Leicht alkoholisch und holzig in der Nase. Am Gaumen dann leicht röstig und Kaffee ist erkennbar."

    "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."
