Trader Joe's is my favorite grocery store, and I was hoping that the great values for great prices they have might just extend to this very cheap bottle of rum. Trader Joe's branding is also inspired by Trader Vic's, so maybe their rum will really be good! Alas, this is just not the case. It's very alcohol-forward and flavorless. It is nearly indistinguishable from any other bland liquor. That being said, other cheap rums can be hard to swallow, and this one is still easy drinking (albeit you won't have much fun until after it's been ingested). It's just sort of alright for the value, and if you're going for a one-stop haul at Trader Joe's and are in a bind for rum, then you can pick up a bottle and you'll probably be fine. I would not go out of my way in any capacity to get my hands on it though.

I don't agree with these low reviews.... I don't know if the source of rum was different, but to me it's decent sipping. Yes, I was shocked that it wasn't only able to use for mixing... when I drank it neat, it's actually good.
I have ~100 rums and I don't bargain hunt in general. I just saw Barbados and said WTH

Wow don't buy this! This makes bacardi taste like doorleys. Very harsh,no positive flavors straight. If buying trader Joe's rum get whalers for some coke or ginger ale. Rum of the gods of hades!

This product is so bad, it is unfathomable! The Caribe region is so expert at producing rum, that it is unbelievable that any of the folks there with pride would participate in producing this garbage!

I thought maybe there would be something redeeming when I saw it at Trader Joe's, like Two Buck Chuck. Alas, no such luck. No sweetness. Little flavor. Smells a bit like rubbing alcohol. Mixed, I at least got the Coke flavor.

Use it for cocktails and thatโ€™s about it. Pretty bland on its own.
