Recognizable as Bacardi rum, this is a mixed style: light and heavy. That's what Facundo Bacardi has developed.

The nose is not very complex but I can say it's typical Bacardi. I get can or steel flavor, vanilla, honey, molasses, sweet notes of burned sugar, ripe or canned peach, slightly wood.
There is also the champignon note like in all Bacaradis, especially in the cheapest.

The taste is balanced, fresh and mild.
Initial taste starts with can/steel, honey, molasses, canned peaches and vanilla ice. In the middle I get the typical champignons, molasses (it's the one that I smelled in the distillery), canned peaches and vanilla.
The finish is a little bit spicy with and I get again can/steel, some honey, molasses and canned peaches.

Some interesting fact: this rum is similar to Facundo Eximo.

Nose: steel flavor, champignon, vanilla, honey, molasses, sweet notes of burned sugar, ripe or canned peach, slightly wood
Initial taste: can/steel, honey, molasses and canned peaches
Middle: champignon, molasses, canned peaches, vanilla
Finish: spice, can/steel, some honey, molasses and canned peaches

It's overall quite smooth and easy drinkable at 40%. The dilution is noticeable but it's also balanced and smooth because of that.
I would like to taste this one in cask strength.
I would rate this rum with 79 points.

Additional Information (https://www.moodiedavittreport.com/):
"Based on Bacardiโ€™s rarest rums that have been aged in oak barrels for 10 to 16 years resulting in an average of 12, the blend is balanced with a touch of 1yo rum to develop a light freshness on the palate, Bacardi said. Similarly, the Maestro de Ron shapes the flavours of this rum by using a mix of charcoals to give Bacardi Reserva Limitada its balance and smoothness."

This is a great sipping rum. Its a mild color with mild flavor, not very overpowering in anyway which I think is the beauty of the rum. I really can't compare it to any other rum I have drink thus far so it's in a class of it's own. Price point was a little high but was worth buying. Enjoy!!!

This is a balanced rum and smooth to drink. But there is nothing that sticks out from a flavour point of view.

Dans la pure tradition des rhums Cubains ( ben oui je sais, je sais... Allez lire un peu sur l'histoire de la maison avant de me traiter d'inculte ) cette bouteille n'est pas sans intรฉrรชt.

Tranchant, sec sur des notes de miel, petit fruits, noix et un petit chรชnes subtil, ce rhum est un produit qui a visiblement jouit d'un grand travail de recherche avant la commersialisation!

Produit honnรชte, parcontre un peu cher pour ce qu'il a ร  offrir.

You are a little bit surprised over Bacardi company thta should have the resourcesto produce the finest Rum or by up from the ones that do so. For the brans calling a product Limitada you should expect extra all fromthis bottle. I would say that 8 year is better for the price.

Considering price, this rum is only slightly better than the 8 yr. Had this after Barrilito 3 Estrellas and I just stared at my glass wondering if I really just had a top shelf rum. It's all around average to boring. Nothing of it seems worth the price.

I just brought a bottle of this back from New York City. I had tasted it before, but this is the first time that I gave it a serious tasting. It is one my top rums. I love sipping it. It is a huge step up in class from your normal Bacardi products.

A cut above standard light and Gold. Has a more distinctive feel on the pallet of an aged barrel-product. Bacardi Reserve can be sipped or mixed!

I was hesitant to buy a bottle of this, because of the extremely high price of $499 (DrinkUpNY 2016) and because I'm not really a big fan of El Dorado rums. But this one is very good.

I rate this at the top of the 9 scale; very good, but just shy of a 10.

Mellow with a banana peel flavour. Obviously better than most bacardis because thats not hard to do. Nothing too over the top here when it comes to character. I couldn't pin the flavour and then someone nailed it with raisins. Well done fellow rum rater! Still worth a try at least. Could even buy a couple bottles and not be disappointed.

I got 1 litre bottle on auction for 30Eur considering this as nice for my wife into Coke and acceptable price. Having no expectation, I'm not disappointed. Mixed in Coke it goes well, even the strong over sweet smell turns to fine one. My wife is happy and I have confirmed my assumption that Bacardi suits to mixed drinks, but you never take it as a rum to sip.
