Bacardi Gold rum

Bacardi Gold

United States | Gold | 40% ABV

Bacardi Gold rum is manufactured in Puerto Rico where it is distilled from fermented molasses. It is then filtered through charcoal and aged in charred oak barrels for between 1 and 2 years. Unlike Bacardi Superior, Bacardi Gold is only filtered once.

Bacardi's official logo, a fruit bat, dates to 1862 when founder Don Facundo Bacardi found fruit bats living in rafters of the building he bought to house the distillery. Bats are considered an omen of good luck in Cuba and have emblazoned Bacardi rum bottles ever since.

I bought this rum before I read all the heinous reviews on this website, which made me worry that I'd made a terrible mistake.

It turns out that, in my opinion, this is a fine rum, great for mixing and not bad for sipping.

It smells of vanilla, clove, and caramel, with only a very sense of alcohol. I almost get a whiff of black cherry as well.

The taste is gently sweet and very spicy. Not much burn, but it does have more bite than similar rums at the same price, although a cube of ice clears that up easily.

The aftertaste is refreshing and has a vanilla and apricot flavor.

I will concede that it lacks the complexities of a good sipping rum, but it isn't unpleasant on its own.

In short, if you had to buy one bottle of cheap rum for both people who like mixing and people who like sipping, it's a decent choice -- especially if you can't find Cruzan 9.

This stuff is horrible. Even mixing it with like 80% Coke wasn't enough to mask the extremely off-putting and boozy flavor profile of this crap. I ended up just giving it away to a friend who will drink pretty much any alcohol given to him.

Chemical, artificial, not for drinking purposes, unless you senses aren’t working.

This is great but nothing to write home about. Better than other mass market rums.

Arrgh, this barely be a rum! Handy when you be three sheets to the wind already, but that be all. Not for sippin'. No strong flavor, no spice, no fruit, no nothin'... nothin' but alcohol. Aye, I don't go for pollutin' ANY rum with other things, but this rum be an exception...

My intro to rum. Enjoy as a mixer- rum and coke. Rum, pressed coconut and splash of guava/pineapple juice. Definitely not on the rocks.

If you don't want to spend much, this one is nice for cocktails and mixers.
