Bacardi Limon

I’m sorry but the flavored Bacardi rums are low end unaged rums made for cheep punches or younger drinkers. I don’t find anything redeeming from this rum but had to give it a taste.

Primer saborizado que probé, hace muchos años. Una mala experiencia. Siempre será mejor un ron blanco con limón natural.

Bottle obtained from last year’s Holiday Swap. I got hosed. Artificial lemon flavoring in the standard Bacardi Silver? I mean, what’s the point? Are lemons that hard to find? Rum is not vodka and does not need this kind of marketing. Lemon floor polish.

Especially the bad ones because people come up with some funny remarks. And there are plenty where Bacardi is concerned. I have given bad reviews myself for the couple Bacardi rums I tried but I cannot trash them for this review. This is clearly a mixer so much so it flat out says it on the tiny trial size. 'Made for mixing'. But I am not mixing for this review just put on ice. Nice lemon flavor but also medicine taste in there as well. Slight burn. There is nothing about this rum that will ever make me buy a regular size bottle but at a gathering if someone brought this and decided to make some mixed drinks with it I wouldn't run from it.

Not much to say on the nose, clearly a citrus note is strong. Neatly sipped it's almost too easy to drink, really fresh citrus taste, quite much on the sweet side too. Alcohol and rum taste is nonexistent. This is 100% a mixer base. With some ice and coke, it's very good drink after sauna or in a friendly get together. Nothing wrong with it, nothing special to remember either.

Appearance: clear
Aroma: smells like lemon icebox cake
Flavor: I don't mind this. I think the flavor is that of lemon icing, not frosting, but icing. It's sweet and lemony.
