United States | Light | 40% ABV

Bacardi Superior Rum is the original Bacardi rum, dating back to 1862 when Don Facundo Bacardi Massó purchased his first rum distillery in Cuba. 150 years later, Bacardi Superior is now manufactured in Puerto Rico, but the recipe remains largely the same.

A unique strain of yeast discovered in the Cuban sugarcane fields is used to produce Bacardi Superior rum. The rum is filtered through charcoal, a process pioneered by Bacardi, before and after it is aged in oak barrels for at least one year.

I'll be honest with you. Bacardi Superior is the standard (basic, bottom shelf) in white rum period. Also, it's the first rum most people have every had the pleasure of drinking. It's not tasty, that's why it gets a score of a 6. It's bland, simple, but you know what, some people like that and Superior fills that void.

I would definitely recommend this to that friend you have that says, "I don't like rum, I like vodka" or "I just want to get sloshed". There are very few other white rums that have these tasting notes (don't laugh) and can be mixed with anything, like a vodka can. Superior is perfect in a mojito or cuba libre.

If you're looking for something similar, but "different" (you know, something that does the same thing) you should try Brugal Especial Extra Dry white rum. I'd give that the same score, but it's good to have options.

There are so many better alternatives, that I can't find any reason to buy this. At least it is a straight, unaltered product. Then again so is Flor de Cana 4 Anos. Price difference is minimal. Hence Bacardi Superior could be used for larger parties but cheaper rum by other distillers will do as well.

Surely it is not a beverage to drink in straight mode, but sinceraly used for coktails it is not much better.

A good rum. Been here and enjoyed for years. Tasting small batch craft rums kinda blows it away. But for consistency and quality still great. A great mixer. Much of it's flavor filtered away

The standard mixer you should always have a large bottle of this in your cabinet when you want cocktails that let the ingredients do the talking. A Bacardi Superior Screwdriver is my favorite.

Its Bacardi, i dont need to say anything else really, everybody's tried probably the biggest standard white rum in the world. Its not great, but as a company the heritage is there and no doubt they'll be making rums forever. Try some more in the range though!

This is a light and smooth white rum that mixes well with any mixers, may it be soda, cranberry or Coke.
