I feel like when people are rating white rum they tend to forget what it is supposed to be.

Caña Brava is something very special. Significant thought seems to ave gone into this rum. From the bottle being shaped for different holds and volume markings on it so you can reuse it in the future, to to full flavor that approaches but does not go over the top - I love it. Used in a traditional daiquiri with cane syrup it is spectacular. For me it has taken the "warm up" aperitif cocktail to a whole new level. I do think its flavor profile may be a bit rich if your looking for it to play well with other light modifiers - i.e. an Airmail

I historically don't pay more than $18-$20 for a bottle of solid white rum. Caña Brava is my new exception to this rule and pull it out when I want something a bit more special in a daiquiri or a more forward but not overpowering presence in a tiki cocktail.

I never dreamed that I would find a better tasting white rum than Plantation 3-Star Artisinal, but this one did it. Not only did it win, but with 0 gpl of added sugar instead of 13 gpl for the Plantation version. Tasting side by side, the additives on the Plantation white rum become obvious. No contest! Selvarey White is the only white rum to beat it, and probably because it contains some of this one.

Being created over a very long period of time by the legendary Don Pancho (ex-Cuban rum master distiller who moved to Panama in 1993), one simply cannot go wrong. This is the white rum created for the authentic Cuban Daiquiri. The Mojito is not too far off and only adds mint.

even better as a mixer adding that extra touch to a variety of drinks.

Had this in a daiquiri at club 33 in Disneyland. A true Cuban daiquiri. Panama rum, lime juice and sugar.

I've only experienced this is tiki drinks/cocktails. Might be a bit smoother than the cheaper rums for cocktails. Definitely taste the alcohol over much else, but very smooth in comparison to other light rums.

You'll never touch Bacardi again. Quite simply a solid, balanced white rum which only adds and never takes away from a cocktail.

I find this to be very solid, but not all that tasty, as I have a preference for pot-still flavor in a white. It's smooth, consistent, and has a clean finish. Good, as the label suggests, for a daiquiri, yet, leaves me wanting more.

Bold warm and spunky. Grassy with hints of fruit.

Very viscous and nice mouth feel.

I like it on an Airmail but makes a killer Mojito as well.
