Bacardi 1873 Ron Solera is a golden rum aged up to three years in charred oak barrels. As the name suggests, the Solera system is used to produce this rum, which mixes new batches of rum with older batches each year.
"1873" represents the year of the Virginius Affair, the name of a captured American ship that resulted in a remarkable international diplomacy for peace between the US and Spain during the Ten Years' War.

This tastes a lot cheaper than the Ocho, has a very cheap solera touch to it that takes away from it being a developed rum. Mixer only.

Very smooth, definitely a sipper. Nice vanilla and fruit notes with a little bit of honey.

Nice drink, but missing something. Great color and smell.
Awesome presentation and bottle. However very offputing by aroma alone. Best used as a mixer. No more than a 1:3 ratio. At that rate though, there are a lot cheaper tolerable rums. But if money isn't an option I'd choose this as a mixer.

Not much to say about this rum. The aroma is alcohol astringency and the flavor is unremarkable with a strong burn. To be used as a mixer. Has a bit of unpleasant funkiness to it and leaves a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. Helps to drown it in Coke Zero.

Not bad for cocktails, but nothing special. Sure better than Reserva!

It should be good. You would think that for all Bacardi does in rum that this should be more.

Would buying it more for the nice looking bottle than for the rum.
