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.

Well... it's got a nicer bottle than the other Bacardi's

At 13-20$, the Ron Solera poises as a fancy and limited edition beverage. However, it seems as though most of the funding went into the packaging (glimmery box) and lettering on the bottle instead of the rum.
It leans towards "sharp" and honestly 'has a wild bite to it' is about the best way I can put it into words. I recommend flor de cana 5 year (~$19) for a far better mixing rum

Es de los rones de bacardi que se fabrican en México por lo que es todo un clásico. Es de cuerpo muy ligero y color pálido pera su añejamiento pero tiene fuerte aroma y sabores complejos. Aún es muy alcohólico por lo que es mejor mezclarlo.
How can this cost so much? First, it is a Solera system rum. This is a process by which they can say it has much older better aged rum in the bottle because they combine different aged rums. This aged rum can be as little as 1% of the bottle. Second it is remarkably thin and lifeless. It tastes very young. There is no care involved in producing this rum. No complexity and absolutely zero balance. Your taste buds get hammered by the alcohol punch the minute it hits your lips. It gets worse the rest of the way. It packs a punch but offers no pleasure. The finish is hot and short. This is terrible!

I was surprised when I first bought a bottle of this rum for around 20$/15€ in Mexico and could actually drink it neat and enjoy it. Was never a big fan of Barcadi, but this one is surprisingly good. If you like rums like Zacapa 23, this is a cheaper and not far off alternative (super smooth).

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.

Try to get a well lit shot from the front of the rum label

I got this one on sale today for only $15, which was hard to pass up. The dark colored glass on the bottle hides the orange rum inside. The aroma is of oak and fruit, with no legs in the snifter. It probably has little or no added sugar. The taste is smooth, but that after taste has quite a burn because the oldest rum in this solera ageing is only three years old. For those of you familiar with my other reviews, you very seldom hear me complain about an after burn. This after burn is quite pronounced, but I could get used to it. I would therefore consider this one as a good mixer. Adding an ice cube opens up the flavors, but does not kill the burn. An update will be posted as this rum ages in the bottle, and I would expect the same results down the line.
Update April 9, 2019: The burn is now gone with only 9 ounces left in the bottle. However, the heavy oak flavors now dominate and even come through with a half and half mixture of cola. If you like strong oak flavors, then you will love this one. If not, then stay away from this one. My rating remains the same.
