Bacardi Black

EM
had this rum recently

United States | Dark | 40% ABV

Originally named Bacardi Black, this rum is now called Bacardi Select. The recipe is the same, which consists of a blend of aged rums, charcoal-filtered once before resting for at least 4 years in American White Oak.

Dont waste your money on this thing. Its same trash as Morgan just not with as good PR as Morgan has. Its pretty useless to write anything about taste or smell here. Simple said - its aweful and you should avoid it.

A solid dark rum and a particularly solid Bacardi rum. It tastes like there is some sugar, but it does not take over the character of the spirit. The charred barrel aging adds a rich flavor profile that will put a pep into your cocktail's step. Bacardi Black has a pleasant aroma, and it seems less harsh than many of its Bacardi siblings at the same price point. It goes excellently in a cola, although I have yet to try it in a (TRADEMARK VIOLATION) with some ginger beer, which is the ultimate test for a dark rum. This rum feels elegant for the price, and I was thoroughly impressed. A great value dark rum that can be enjoyed neat or easily mixed for a flavor boost. It's at least worth trying to paint it black with this one.

Tastes like you mixed vodka with rubbing alcohol and added a bit of flavor. Goes down smooth but doesn't have a good flavor. Not the best but it was my first. I would drink it again if it was offered but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it.

It has a distinct flavor of black olive, which I actually quite like. But other than that, the other flavors present here are not very good. I can't quite describe what they are, but in any case, they certainly come together to taste like something which ought not to be drunk.

If the taste could be refined to highlight the more natural flavors and remove the rest, it could be much better.

Due to my enjoyment of CM Dark I thought I'd give this not dissimilar product a go. Why not? It was pretty cheap; how bad can it be? Uh yeah... kinda wish I'd picked up something else. Let me be honest though; I don't totally hate it although there's barely any kinda flavour in it at all and it's got that weird petrochemical quality that a lot of Bacardi products seem to have. Indeed, it reminded me of the cheap voddy that my wife sometimes uses and that I wouldn't consume if it was the last liquid left on Earth. Furthermore they add insult to injury by audaciously putting the words 'Superior Black Rum' on the label (it's probably superior to Methanol). So in conclusion this might work okay in a cocktail but neat or as a sipper it'd need a LOT of help. Good colour though, and it was worth a try if only for the sake of providing my palate more experience.

Nice amber color. Nice trails on the glass.
Taste is like medicine. Not suitable for sipping.
Surprisingly found this at home (probably a gift?) and somebody even drank from it. Lol
