Bacardi Limitada

This one is special. I've had some of the other premium sipping rums from Bacardi including the 8yr, 10yr, and also some of the Facundo rums like Eximo and Exquisito. This one is on a different level. Now it is a unique flavor and if you're into it you will love this rum.

On the nose it is very subtle and light with very light hints of caramel and toffee. No alcohol or tingling at all on the nose. Initial sips are a lovely floral feel on the tongue with hardly any burn. Subsequent sipping is burn free and light caramel and toffee with subtly sweetness sits on the tongue. But the floral hints build and build over time until you have something very close to sweet agave after tastes lingering on the back of your tongue. If you like the taste floral agave, you'll really enjoy sipping this rum (go neat all the way with this one).

It still tastes like rum and is smooth and wonderful supper. But those after notes of flower and agave make this one of my favorites.

According to the folks in Puerto Rico, this rum can only be bought on the island. True or not, it was worth the $90 we paid and the bottle didn't last long. Sipping it neat or on the rocks is best. It is a very complex rum with notes of raisin and chocolate. No afterburner, but a long fairly dry finish that warms the soul. We even bought a second bottle to bring home to the states.

Smooth, lingering aftertaste. Mild sweetness. A must for any rum enthusiast

It took one Sip and I knew I had to buy it.....very smooth. Nice lingering aftertaste, very very light nose

This rum is lovely and smooth with low sweetness. There is no overpowering flavour but a nice mild honey caramel. Very surprising on first taste, very enjoyable and slightly better than the older Bacardi 8 rum.

I wasn't really expecting much from this rum as it holds the "Bacardi" name , however once I popped it open, I could smell this was different from the cheaper bacardis. The smell reminded me of the Foursquare rums. Once I tasted it, it was smooth, an ever so slight burn of alcohol, and a great flavor of vanilla on the back end finishing up with spices. I definitely recommend.

Bottled: September 22 2016
Batch No: 001-19

There is nothing overpowering about this rum, but that doesn't mean it's boring or weak. There's a very nice mix of flavours and the nose seems a little different each time I try it. One small thing that I could call a complaint is that there is a lot of alcohol on the exhale, but it's brief. This was my first sipping rum, so I may be a little biased, but I think this is a really great choice.

Now we are getting to the big boy Bacardis, not quite a Facundo Exquisito at same price point but nice rum just overpriced.

I have not been too excited about other Bacardi products, but the Gran Reserva Limitada was very nice! A hint of sweetness and some burn, but very smooth.

Matured in barrels under the Caribbean sun for 12 years and rich and complex rum with smooth notes of butterscotch and dried fruit melt away to a long, dry finish. Great rum
