How does this rum taste?

  • Fruity aroma noted
  • Good cocktail mixer
  • Smooth on the tongue

Bacardi Carta Negra, produced in Puerto Rico, is a molasses-based rum distilled using a column still, aged for four years, and bottled at 40% ABV. While its dark color and branding suggest a flavorful, aged profile, users generally find it best suited for cocktails. The aroma carries alcoholic, fruity, and woody notes, while the taste blends honey, fruitiness, and a touch of roasted flavors. Despite some criticism on its complexity and value, it is commended for being an accessible mixer with sweet and fruity undertones. Rum lovers looking for a daily mixer may appreciate its presence in their collection, though it may not meet the expectations for sipping neat.

"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."
