Sure, its an OK sipper, but it is not the great Bacardi redeemer.

Quite light for a aged rum, sugar, lemon, little burn, weak tail, no wood. Completely not worth the price (120 Canadian). Disappointing.

Recognizable as Bacardi rum, this is a mixed style: light and heavy. That's what Facundo Bacardi has developed.

The nose is not very complex but I can say it's typical Bacardi. I get can or steel flavor, vanilla, honey, molasses, sweet notes of burned sugar, ripe or canned peach, slightly wood.
There is also the champignon note like in all Bacaradis, especially in the cheapest.

The taste is balanced, fresh and mild.
Initial taste starts with can/steel, honey, molasses, canned peaches and vanilla ice. In the middle I get the typical champignons, molasses (it's the one that I smelled in the distillery), canned peaches and vanilla.
The finish is a little bit spicy with and I get again can/steel, some honey, molasses and canned peaches.

Some interesting fact: this rum is similar to Facundo Eximo.

Nose: steel flavor, champignon, vanilla, honey, molasses, sweet notes of burned sugar, ripe or canned peach, slightly wood
Initial taste: can/steel, honey, molasses and canned peaches
Middle: champignon, molasses, canned peaches, vanilla
Finish: spice, can/steel, some honey, molasses and canned peaches

It's overall quite smooth and easy drinkable at 40%. The dilution is noticeable but it's also balanced and smooth because of that.
I would like to taste this one in cask strength.
I would rate this rum with 79 points.

Smell: steel flavor, vanilla, peach, honey, molasses, sweet notes of burned sugar
Taste initial: peach, caramel, molasses, stainless steel, vanilla ice

Sweetness: 2/5
Spice: 2/5
Fruit: 1.5/5
Mildness: 4/5
Complexity: 3/5
Value (46€): 4/5

Additional Information (https://www.moodiedavittreport.com/):
"Based on Bacardi’s rarest rums that have been aged in oak barrels for 10 to 16 years resulting in an average of 12, the blend is balanced with a touch of 1yo rum to develop a light freshness on the palate, Bacardi said. Similarly, the Maestro de Ron shapes the flavours of this rum by using a mix of charcoals to give Bacardi Reserva Limitada its balance and smoothness."

Little harsh, but once you get into it, its a solid sipper.

Picked a bottle up for half price and even at that I wouldn't buy it again, was quite a harsh taste that even pop couldnt cover up

So not that I've trIed them all but this one is very nice. When 1st out retailed over $100 and all of a sudden... what $50?!?!? Turns out was overrated. At least that's what I was told. Bottom line, neat or one a single rock....all night long.

Sweet but flat body, but way better than you'd have expected from Bacardi

Smooth molasses, honey and vanilla. Nice finish but forgettable.

Yup, I wouldn’t have thought so either! But this is top notch and worth the premium, so... here we are. Good for sipping neat. Anything else would be wasting it. Not as easy on the nose as others with this high a rating, but tastes and finishes nicely.
