If you like whiskey, you'll probably like this rum. Very strong taste, but a good one.

I bought this in a 3 x 10cl tasting set together with the Reserva Ocho and the Gran Reserva Diez just to check out what Bacardi thinks a sipper is meant to be. It has been 35 years or more since I have had a Bacardi; mixed of course and more for the alcohol than for the taste. It is also at least three decades ago that I mixed drinks so let's see where these rums stand.
The nose is recognizable Bacardi (even after al those years); some sweetness and acidity (berries) and a prominent alcoholic scent. Pretty one dimensional and good nor bad.
On the palate this is very "clean"; most flavours are distilled out so this is just one or two steps away from a vodka. Thin, watery and a tad harsh despite the added sugar. Sour berries, a sharpish alcohol, a bit of vanilla and if you want it really bad you find some leathery notes as well. Finish is super short and here the vanilla becomes a bit more dominant.
Sippable but not a sipper and as a mixer I doubt it offers anything above the cheapest Bacardi offerings. I cannot believe this will convince Bacardi-Coke drinkers to leave their cola out nor will it convince seasoned rum drinkers to return to this for a second time.
Not bad, just very, very boring.

I had no high expectations and therefore no surprises took place, it is rum that still has to mature for a few years to become excellent.

Tasted this one in a business lounge in Madrid.
It's a ok, definitly a bacardi. I can recognized it from the molasses in the taste.
You should give this rum some time to breath.
It has some spirit (vodka) taste, it should be aged longer.
I would give it more points if it were more intensive and older.
Smell: molasses, some alcohol, oak/old barrel, caramel, vanilla
Taste: light sweetness (caramel), vanilla, warmy taste, oak barrel, some molasses and brown sugar, alcohol taste, spice, warm burn on the thong
Finish: vanilla, spice, brown sugar
Sweetness: 1.5/5
Fruit: 1.5/5
Spice: 2.5/5
Mildness: 3/5

This rum is not the best for sipping and too expensive for mixing
I prefer the eight year one
Rum mais encorpado, com poucas notas e mais álcool no paladar

Just another unimpressive Bacardi. Bland and artificial, definitely not for sipping.

The younger brother to their Gran Reserva Diez
6
/10
out of 10
After reviewing their Gran Reserva Diez (10 Year old) a few minutes ago, this 4 year old tastes like the baby brother to that one and at half the price. The aroma is pleasant without being complex. This one states notes of mild vanilla, toasted oak, cloves, and honey and I would have to agree. It is smooth going all the way down with very minimal burn. This one is a far cry better than their Solera 1873. However, it pales when compared to the rum that it replaced, Bacardi Anejo. In my days of lesser means 30 years ago, that was my "budget luxury rum" and we would mix it with water. I turned a lot of folks onto rum with that combo of rum and water. This one is billed as a mixer, but can be enjoyed neat if one only wants simplicity and nothing complex.
After note: Normally I would say that this is a good rum to keep on hand to keep from invading the better part of one's collection. However, Don Q Anejo is less oaky in flavor than this one and also a few dollars cheaper. Both mix quite well with coconut water.
