Caliche Light

Smooth and easy drinking without that "weird" Bacardi taste. Makes sense since it's from Don Q.

Had been wanting to try it for a while. Found it at a small town liquor store of all places. It's a great mixer. Would definitely buy again.

Tasted at Laka Lono on February 20, 2022.
My impression of this rum must have faded as the sipping went on; I originally marked it as a 4/5 and then changed the rating to a 3/5 with a note to myself that the 3 was the accurate rating. Notes say "dusty in a good way."

Tasted at Laka Lono on 2/22/19. Served to me in a daiquiri. That pretty much says it all. My neat sample was quite unremarkable from this clear rum. Boring and hot, without the alcohol heat. This was Skipper Michael's last Laka Pour for me before he left.

It passes my litmus test: it goes well in a mojito.

I used it to make mixed drinks Cuba libres etc. and for the price it works
Most people that see the bottle find it cool

Mixes well with tropical punch or anything pineapple and coconut tiki drinks!

Definite burn going down. Not a bad mixer. I added some coffee beans and a vanilla bean to what was left in the bottle, let it sit for a few days, and had a nice coffee rum. Still burned going down, but the flavor was nice.

Vanilla, citrus and spice come to mind when drinking this rum. I do enjoy this neat as one of the only rums from Puerto Rico that I can say this about. I like the bottle presentation! Nice price for a light rum with nice flavor that can be sipped.

Let's face it, light rums are not really designed for sipping. Caliche is a perfectly acceptable rum for making classic cocktails and exotic potions.
