Bacardi Reserva

Ook weer een fles die al jaren in de kast staat, de bedoeling is dat ik hier binnenkort iets meer over ga vertellen

All I can say about this is it is better than most of the swill that comes from this incredibly overrated and over marketed distillery. But being better than bat piss isn’t really saying much. Harsh, all bite with no body. Flat and flavorless. It’s awful.

Flat, sweet, cloying rum, but a tad better than most rums from this distillery.

Un bon rhum de base pour le cuba libre. Pur, pour moi, sans intérêt.

This is an ok basic rum, Good for mixing or neat for the days you don’t need something fancy

The nose is light, with dried fruits, waft of tobacco and a bit of white oak, the taste is dried fruits, prominent tobacco, spices and a bit of barrel, all turning honey sweet as if some sugar was added. The aftertaste is sweet, spicy, with some alcohol burn, but nothing an adult man cannot survive - as this rum is meant to be mixed, I would not consider this as a problem. The nose and some parts of the taste profile remind me of Don Q Anejo, which not a bad rum indeed. This Bacardi release is not very complex, but it is a good value for the money, I can even sip this one when there is nothing better around and it makes lovely mixed drinks. Score between 6 and 7.

Ve vůni příjemný, v chutí nasládlý, určitá dřevitost, závěr dlouhý

Жесткий и не запоминающийся ром. Гораздо хуже той же Carta Oro. Подойдёт для коктейлей, но не для употребления а чистом виде. Учитывая его цену - это ужасное соотношение цены и качества.

it is a bid too sharp for sipping on it's own. this is a mixing rum

This - in an ideal world - should be the bottom release for this house, as inferior of this grade is full of stuff that nightmares are made of. So, this starts to be an acceptable mixer, even if there are better viable alternatives.Some peculiar character is shown here, even if not enough to be sufficient.
