Bacardi Limitada

This was a very good rum for Bacardi although not as nice as their Facundo line (Exquisito!). If you like this you’ll love Gran Reserva Especial.

Smooth. No alcohol taste. So far (01 2020) the best I've tried.

Bacardi de gran calidad, sabor y aroma leve a vainilla. Muy recomendable.

I walked into my favorite clearance liquor store today to get repeat purchases as usual. Walking down the aisle, I spotted this one that normally sells for $110 US going for only $40. I paused for about 30 seconds and told myself WTF. I bought it. I then noticed when I got home to this web site that this same rum comes in two different bottles, with this one being the fancier shape of the two. So I am reviewing this exact same bottle shape. One other reviewer mentioned that it has 15 gpl of added sugar, which qualifies it as semi-dry in my book.

It is super smooth with no burn, but I can taste the added sugar, which is cheating. It is still no match against Facundo Eximo from Bacardi at $65 per bottle. This one is a good rum, but I would not pay more than $50 per bottle. As others have already said on both bottles, one can find rums that are just as good for even cheaper. Since, I am now obsessed with dry rum purchases (they last longer in the bottle and have no ill effects the next day), I won't go back to that store to buy several more bottles of this one. What keeps this one from getting my rating of 8 is the slightly bitter aftertaste at the back of my throat, probably from too much oak and not enough other flavors.

Bacardi have not ticked in all boxes before. But this bottle is somerhing else. Fantastic rich taste and smooth. Well done Bacardi.

As many say it is surprisingly good - not too sweet but good body for the big brand

In genere, quando si pensa al Bacardi, non si è sicuramente portati a pensare ad un rum di pregio o qualità, tuttavia, questo discorso non vale certo per il Bacardí Gran Reserva Limitada.
Questo rum si caraterizza per una non comune dolcezza al palato, con note morbide di caramello e frutta secca che si sciolgono in un finale lungo e asciutto. Cioè che si nota immediatamente è che risulta molto morbido, e dolce, al palato e ciò si contrappone in modo evidente al finale più deciso e secco, tuttavia questa evoluzione risulta piacevole e naturale, per nulla drastica.

Come nota aggiuntiva e del tutto personale, direi che questo è il rum caraibico che più si avvicina al Ryoma 7-Year giapponese, almeno al primo impatto sul palato, cosa che ho trovato particolramente atipica sul momento.

I am sure I liked this, again I didn't write good notes, but I do remember that this didn't taste like my 20'2 Bacardi.

Fairly light on the nose and in the mouth, can't distinguish any particular flavors, more burn then I would have expected. My first Bacardi (straight), not bad but I probably won't be reaching for it a lot.

I like the bottle and the tradition of Bacardi rums. This Gran Reserva Limitada was in my inventory for a while before I opened, expecting a smooth experience. I was a little disappointed. The aroma is strong and the color is rich and dark. But for the price, of nearly $100, there are more options out there, especially if you are looking for a sweet experience. The Zacapa Solera 23 is a great option.
