Not much rum taste, a touch of vanilla and rum alongside harsh vodka.

I've wanted to try this for a while. Very good as a mixer. Slight vanilla and nut notes. Not much of a burn. I'll keep a bottle on hand and it's price can't be beat.

Don Q Silver with Diet Coke has been a favorite of mine for years. It easily replaced Bacardi Silver due to the medicinal taste of the latter. If a smooth rum with your rum and coke sounds good to you, try it. Canโ€™t hurt.

My go to inexpensive mixing rum after visiting Puerto Rico. Everything youโ€™d expect in a inexpensive white rum.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 10/9/22. Pours clear. Aroma of Dixie crystals sugar. Boysenberries. Menthol. Wintergreen. Slightly vegetal. Tingling finish.

This is one of my favorite light rums for mixing. Very crisp-feeling and clean-tasting. Mild flavor, but just enough to let you know it is still rum. Totally tolerable "burn", if you can even call it that. Makes a nice Daiquiri. Another one that delivers over its price. If you are a Bacardi Superior person and have not tried this one, seriously, give this one a try.

They make a decently consistent product. Good for mixing, not the best, but still good. Minimal burn. Pretty smooth for what youโ€™d expect actually!

I am not a fan of light rum (even for cocktails) but if you must have that see-through rum in your drink, do yourself a favor and try this instead of Bacardi (Puerto Rico does.) It at least has less burn and medicinal flavor. This is far from a great rum but it's at least tolerable. Recommended for those that choose looks over taste.
