Review and Tasting

Sampled on 13/04/2018

Appearance:

Clear, golden amber. (SRM: 10)

Aroma:

Vanilla fudge, toffee, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon and faint (attractive) notes of Bacardi's signature blue cheese and mushroom soup.

Taste:

Initial slight vanilla and dark honey sweetness quickly dries with toffee, toasty oak, clove and cracked black pepper spice.

Aftertaste:

Relatively dry caramel, toffee, vanilla and light spice.

Overall:

An easy, well-balanced and very tasty sipping rim at an affordable price. We concur with The Sun newspapers "TOP TIPPLE - Bacardi's got a new posh dark rum to woo over snobby drinkers – and it costs £25 a bottle." Certainly wooed us.
