Negrita Bardinet Signature Dark 2-Year

I think it's a good rum for doing cocktails. My favorite is Fidel Castro - Rum, ginger ale and lime.

Good for drinks/cocktails no more then that.

This is a very cheap rum and it is far from great but the score on RumRatings (2,8 at the time of my review) doesn't do it justice. On the other hand; the label states 'Premium Caribbean dark Rum' but I wouldn't call this premium by a long shot. So, a cheap rum somewhere in between 'barely drinkable' and 'premium'.

I couldn't help checking some of the members who rated Negrita a '1' or '2' and , not unexpected, there was a lot of sweet stuff on the upper shelves. This dark rum is a dry blend. I do wonder what kind of blend because as a French rhum you would expect an agricole, and I get some hints of that, but I would be very surprised if molasses-based rums were not in here as well.

On the nose it reminds a bit of Myers's rum, just much, much lighter. A bit herbal, burnt sugar but I also get a whiff of molasses. On the palate it starts out rather sweet, liquorice, and then the herbal and peppery (chili rather than black or white) notes take over. Minimal vanilla and some oak come forward in the rather short finish. With an ABV of 37,5% it is certainly not an explosion of flavours but it does have some character. It is a little sharp at the exit despite the low ABV so I guess there is quit a large part of really young rum in this blend.

This is probably not going to be a rebuy; it is all a bit too simple and I can get more interesting spirits for just a tad more money. On the other hand, when I am spending my holidays in France (after covid) I might just grab another bottle; this is the right kind of stuff near a campfire at night. Simple but not bad.

Rhum qui épice et relève les préparations culinaires :)

Il peut éventuellement, je dis bien éventuellement, être mélangé si vous n'avez rien d'autre sous la main..

Another typical Cuba Libre rum. Excellent for that but not suited for sipping

I ever tried. All round not a bad rum to be honest. Much maligned. Very cheap!

Not bad for Agricole style and very inexpensive

Czuc w zapachu cukier trzcinowy. Z mikserem jest Ok. stanowczo zbyt niska ocena w swojej Polce cenowej Ok.

Nothing fancy, nothing extra. Cheap drinkable rum that can be used for cooking or getting drunk

Low cost cooking rum, good enough for punch, pancakes or fruit salads.

Cheap and without any mayor flavor profiles, works fine with coke

Min hedder så: Negrita Gold, tror nok det er den samme, når det kommer til stykket :)
