United States | Light | 40% ABV

Bacardi Superior Rum is the original Bacardi rum, dating back to 1862 when Don Facundo Bacardi Massó purchased his first rum distillery in Cuba. 150 years later, Bacardi Superior is now manufactured in Puerto Rico, but the recipe remains largely the same.

A unique strain of yeast discovered in the Cuban sugarcane fields is used to produce Bacardi Superior rum. The rum is filtered through charcoal, a process pioneered by Bacardi, before and after it is aged in oak barrels for at least one year.

There's really not much to this rum. Smells like a wet rock, but the taste includes a hint of sugarcane and vanilla. While it's certainly ok, there's a lot of better rums out there. You can easily drink this straight at 40%abv, but again there's a lot better.

This is only for large quantities of frozen margaritas or Pina colada.

It works in cocktails if the point is for the rum to hide and support other ingredients. That is probably the style's purpose; to be the vodka of rum. Otherwise, there are better options for all other applications.

Bacardi Superior is perfectly fine in a number of cocktails, Cuba Libre, mojito, daiquiri, etc. Flavor-wise there's not a lot going on, it's a bit harsh, but it's far better than some of the super dosed rum liqueurs that claim to be a spirit. For a similar price point, Cruzan Light, The Real McCoy 3, Flor de Cana 4, and Plantation 3 are all superior white mixing rums.

I hate this rum, but not for the flavor. I hate it because it's the rum that made think I didn't like rum, so I didn't try any other rums for a decade and I will never forgive it for that. It probably deserves a 3 on drink-ability, but even in cocktails I don't really like this stuff. In most cases, I would probably rather drink a virgin daiquiri than one made with Bacardi silver. The only reason it doesn't get a 1 is because I know Malibu exists.

Bare bones basic rum used by bars to cut with water for highest profit margin.

Has intense alcohol flavour which has to be taken down with coctail mixtures

Tasted 2/27/22 at Laka Lono and I was glad this was 3/3.
This rum should be consumed with Coca Cola and only if you are trying to complete your rum tasting passport.
notes say: This rum smells like: light me on fire

Für einen Rum Cola sicherlich brauchbar.

Sonst eher nicht zu empfehlen.
