Bacardi Ron Solera 1873

C'est pour mixer avec du coke. De couvert au Mexique et pas cher. C est un rhum un peu fort (38%), sent le caramel et goûte un peu le chêne, mais je le compare au bacardi blanc. Boff

Suntan lotiony nose but smooth taste, finish has some bitterness

Had this rum in a Mexican resort. It lost out to Flora d Cana and Appleton (low ends)but was ok. It does have a dark molasses taste, with oak pronounced. This is a mixer. Not a sipper, unless you’ve already had too much and want to cleanse yourself. There are better, and there are worse. Hmmm, maybe put this in a Pina-Colada…I’m off to try.

Very good mixer

Es un ron fuerte en olor y sabor a alcohol, mezclado con coca colar es la única forma de tomarlo

Was at a hotel bar and this was the only "premium" rum available. Neat, it had notes of oak and charring. Alcohol was wafting from the glass. The palette had more oak, molasses and a bit of vanilla. Burning and spreading the warmth of that oakyness down the throat. With a cube, it didn't open much. A tad more vanilla.
Not a great rum, but for a Bacardi product it's drinkable. Next time, mixing it.

As a stand alone sipper it would be not bad. I would probably use mix the next time I try it though. I purchased it because a local (in Mexico) said it was a favourite of his and he genuinely seemed pretty excited about it. I'm glad I tried it.

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.

I purchased this 1873 bottle while visiting the Bacardi plant in 1996. It was listed as a dry rum so it sat unopened for 18 years until recently. It did have a pale golden color when I purchased it. It is a pleasant rum, a bit dry and clean finish. Not my cup of tea, but at least it doesn't suck.

Un rhum boisé et assez fort en sec que j'ai pu découvrir au Mexique. Plutot adapté aux cocktails ou a diluer a mon avis.
