Strong enough but sweet enough at the same time.

Not a bad mixer, does not add any flavor just a little sweet nothing. I can't see what all the high rating are about. I really like dark aged rums so I must just not know how this one should taste.

This is an agricole (sugarcane) tasting rum, but it's a little sweeter than most agricoles. Tastes a little like sugar syrup (which I like in this). Smooth and easy drinking, this is a nice light rum. I'm not a big fan of light rums, but this is above average to me.

Like the dark and the spiced ones, it´s a great budget rum and this one makes a good daiquiri. A mixing rum.

Dejlig Mixer fra Bayou. Kan varmt anbefales i en Daiqairi. giver lige lidt ekstra i forhold til en Barcardi eller Havana club.

In New Orleans Typically harsh white American rum. Better than Bacardi. This does not mean it is worth drinking.

Had a bottle lying in my drawer I had forgotten about. Lightly sweet smell reminding cough syrup or similar. Taste is sweet, medicine…kind of artificial, alcohol mixed in. No punch whatsoever, nothing pleasant. Bad in cuba libres or straight with ice. Didn’t even make tiramisu better :) buy something else

Decent with Coke. Horrible straight. I'm partial to spiced rums myself so my opinion is somewhat biased in this.

I generally don't f with white rums, anyway. This is a very basic mixer.
I do not like white rums. This on the other hand was pretty good and smooth perfect rum for mixing drinks. Sad part is I cannot find bayou rum anywhere in RI anymore they have a satsuma flavor rum that is excellent also if you like tangerine flavor.

A good substitute for Vizcaya Cristal

I have been very reluctant to try any more rums from Bayou after being disappointed with their Satsuma and Spiced. So when I picked up their Select today, I added this one to the basket as well. I really had my doubts before opening it, so I read the back of the label. Unlike the Select that is 100% agricole from cane juice, this one is a mixture of cane juice and molasses. It is fermented with cane yeast and distilled in copper pots.
My first sip really surprised me to the point whereby I told myself, "Damn, that tastes awfully familiar". After a few more sips, the vanilla and chocolate notes remind me very much of Vizcaya Cristal from the Dominican Republic, one of my top rated white rums. This was indeed a pleasant surprise!
