Bacardi Reserva Limitada

On the nose, instantly you'll know it's a Bacardí. Then...clean, wonderful aroma, spice, lots of cinnamon, dried fruits...coconut, caramel, vanilla, shortbread cookies and subtle oak. Once you take a sip...light, mellow, dry, smooth...cinnamon, vanilla, dried fruits like coconut, plums, apricots, subtle citrus peel like lemon. Salty caramelized nuts like almond, hazelnut...caramel, buttery shortbread cookies. Finish, floral with a hint of brown sugar and light oak. No smoke at all, comparing it to Bacardí 8. This is not a molasses taste rum, very little molasses at the end...if any. Needless to say, neat.

Very nice rum, if you like the cuban rums.
A bit oaky, not too sweet. Pretty decent finish.
All round good rum. Hard to go wrong with this one, although for the price, you could find some other gems.

This ist not the stuff you see in all the cinema advertisments. This is very good and solid stuff. Sweet fruits in the nose. A bit too burning on the tongue, but then there is oak and plum. The same goes for the aftertaste. As it says for 8 points: Recommendable for most.

But that's like saying you prefer to drink name brand bleach instead of no name.

This doesn't hold up against almost anything out there. Minimal body, no mouth feel. I wouldn't feed this to my sink drain.

If a Bacardi can be called good, than this one is. I suppose that when it was still made in Cuba, this would have been their median standard. Not really a sipper for me. A bit flat and lacking in body, but quite drinkable on ice. The best compliment I can give is that it does not taste like a Bacardi.

Great rum. Price range is in the higher end. Any price sub 100.00 is great deal. Very drinakable and not anything like the cheap Bacardi. A real rum drinkers rum.

I purchased my bottle last year while visiting the Bacardi factory. This has to be one of the best rum that I have tasted. I doesn't need anything but a single cube of ice.

I was lucky and got this at 1/2 price so I bought two bottles.
Delightful aroma and silky smooth. If I see it again for 1/2 price I will get more.

i've expected not so a good Ron, but this Bacardi is Top.

Can't help it, there is just something in Bacardi which I don't like about. Even this reserva has a strong alcohol taste which is pushing over.
