I purchased this Bacoo 12-year Rum at one of my local stores when they had a promotional package with a free tiki mug. Nice mug but the rum blew me away. Really smooth and sweet, no burn and flavors galore. I have to rate it right up there with Atlantico, another Dominican favorite. Price was good and mixed it with some juice, fantastic! Sounds like it may be a good sipper also and defiantly going to try that. Muy Bien.

Nice tasting rum, nothing stood out especially to me. Not too oaky. I will probably sip it.

A very pleasant surprise to get a great sipping rum. Dark amber, vanilla and a little sweet butterscotch mixed with a herbal hint that comes to life as it warms in the mouth. This was the last of a gift bottle, so I went shopping for more an made the mistake of picking up the 8 year version. Not worth the lower price, just get the 12 year Bacoo and enjoy.
I have never been a Rum drinker, Bourbon, scotch and Irish whiskey have always been my favorites. I tried this on a fluke and have been drinking it ever since. A little sweet caramel burst up front smooth not too much after taste. In Key West there is Rum bar, we did flights to sample different rums. I found one I want to buy and try against my Bacoo, Dos Madera 5+5, but have not found it in the local ABC stores. I read here that a good standard rum is Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, I bought a bottle and did a side by side taste test. To me the Bacoo was better and it is $15 cheaper. The difference, the Bacoo is sweeter up front the Diplomatico has a strong molasses taste.

So I prefer my runs with a bit sweet taste and easy on the nose. This one does that. From Dom Rep, it is a good sipper for me. I did add a small ice cube.

This rum is good on its own! Very solid sipping rum and at a great price, around $28 dollars!! For a 12 year! Really good stuff in my opinion!
As a lover of the molasses and vanilla notes in rum over bananas, this hits all my checks.

Relatively smooth, a little sweet. Nice flavor, but a little bland compared to really good rum. For the price, itโs one of the best.
Part of my ongoing venture into the rum world. I will admit that I bought this more about the age statement than anything else. Itโs very drinkable on ice, and Iโll probably try it in an old fashioned.
It tastes sweet to me, but with nice caramel notes. It does have an interesting chemical note, but that could be a funk that Iโm not used to.

This really is a great rum to nose in the glass. Oak and wood spices provide a nice backdrop for the sweet baking spices (vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves) and rich molasses that rises into the breezes above the glass. There are hints of spicy orange peel, and fresh citrus fruit which appear and disappear within the aroma.
Deep dark brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves and hints of orange peel and citrus fruit lay upon a foundation of oak and wood spices. Rich tobacco accents the flavour and some luscious dark fruit. The overall flavour is sweet but not overwhelmingly so, and a soft nuttiness lies under the other flavours giving the rum just a hint of bitterness which offsets that sweetness nicely.
Good stuff ...Iโve not seen it very often but itโs tasty and well worth having in a collection of quality rum
What I truly love about this rum is how I seem to like it just a little more every time I pour another glass. The flavours remain rich and strong but never cloying.
