Bacardi Gold

This is my goto when mixing with cola, easy on the pallet

If you're trying to impress your friends that buy cheap white rum, the gold color will do it, but that's all that it's good for. Doesn't really deserve to be called rum.

Great with cola.

Straight up - not good for me - 2/10
With cola - classic Cuba Libre - 8/10
Average - 5/10

By itself, this rum is fairly plain, tasting and smelling mostly of just alcohol. I happened to have some ginger ale on hand, so I tried that instead of my regular diet coke. It mixes really nicely with the ginger ale, but it's not as well rounded as I would prefer. Okay in a pinch, but there are plenty of other rums, and even Bacardi varieties, that are more sufficient.

basic crap that mixes OK with canned coca cola.

whole bottle gone.... not really drunk so doubting the 40 % rating.

All my ratings in here comes from straight up.
This is dreadfull for that.
Nose is OK, some vanilla, some spices and weak touch of fruit the alcohol dominates though.
Taste is dreadfull: Alcohol, more alcohol, dominates the plate
Aftertaste: some oak and a burn..

NOT for sipping... Blend only. Dreadfull balance.

Better than any white rum, not really a sipping rum.

Not bad as a rum and coke and a lot more flavour than the superior , better still buy the Barcardi 8 , its worth the extra.

The non filtered version of the Bacardio Blanco, so more flavours, but nothining special for me. Only for in the mix.

Sugar: 0 to 5 gpl. The Bacardi Gold Rum is a small notch higher than the Bacardi white rum. While not good enough to be used as a sipping rum, it's good enough for mixed drinks. I would choose this over the white for mixed drinks, but there are better rums out there for mixing. If you are on a budget and serving to rum and coke drinkers, then pick this one.
