Bacardi Gold

It's not as bad as some people here make it out to be, that's for sure. If you think this is the very bottom of rums then you haven't had the cheap rums I've been having. You are probably better off with Morgan Gold (which has really nailed this kind of rum at this price point) but this is not a big step down. The aroma is very alcohol-forward, and the flavor unfortunately follows suit. That being said, it is relatively smooth and still has its own distinct spicy flavor, keeping it from feeling like a bottle of brown ethanol. The elegant-looking bottle makes it look pricier than it is, and if you're looking for something more straightforward than the spiced selection on the market at the same low price, then this can do as a good mixer and barely decent sipper.

It's cheap and you can get it in a handle and mix it all day.

This is a good basic gold rum for mixing... it's my everyday go to.

While helping my elderly parents move, there was a bottle in their liquor cabinet. It was better than I thought it would be (no, not a resounding endorsement), but free likely helped. Went straight to mixing, and did not waste time with sipping it.

Love this in my rum and cokes very affordable and good tasting

Only if your giving to inexperienced drinkers who want cheap stuff to mix. This is not for a serious rum drinker to consider

Tasting: 25ml, Neat.

Glass: Denver & Liely Whisky Glass.

Nose: Strong and extremely punchy alcohol.

Palate: Medium body with pleasant sweetness.
No particular tropical fruits nor spices have been noticed.

Finish: Short aftertaste, lack of complexity .

Pairing: Goes well with seafood, especially sashimi or grilled salmon.

Comment: Nice and easy drink to pair with many kinds of food.
Surely great for mixers and cocktails.

Goes with coke and that's all there is to it, not woth attention.

I was desperate and the only rum around was Bacardi Gold. I had low expectations and it lived up to them. I'm a rocks sipper and this is not acceptable. Harsh and a taste not to my liking. I do include price as a factor so it bumps it up to a 5 but that's it. Don't try it on the rocks.

All the burn with none of the flavor. My first attempt at trying rum and I went for a brand I recognized. Led me to believe I disliked rum but now after trying multiple more quality competitors realized this rum just sucks! Not great for use in cocktails. Not great to sip on its own. It will get you buzzed but wont taste good while its doing it.
