Beautifully blended from 14 different rums aged 1 to 2 years, this distinctly characterised rum does remind me of a mild spiced rum. The vanilla taste is complimented with the flavours of nougat and honey, infused with a slight fruit punch of peach, apricot, and cinnamon spice. Leaving you with a zesty taste of green pineapple and cinnamon. Similar to Stiggins’ Fancy Plantation Pineapple. Best Severed Bacardi rums use only three main ingredients; molasses, yeast, and water. Quality molasses from the finest sugar cane plantations are fermented in water with patented Bacardi yeast (discovered by Don Facundo Bacardi Masso), then distilled and aged. What Does Bacardi Rum Taste Like? The taste of Bacardi rum is as diverse as its collections of rums. Ranging from your sweet mild-bodied rums to the full-bodied aromatic rums aged to perfection in charred ex-bourbon casks imparting fruity flavours of tropical fruits and warm notes of nutty vanilla spices. How Strong Is Bacardi Rum? As long as you’re enjoying it, there’s no wrong way to have a drink. However, if you’re not quite sure how to have Bacardí Gold, I’m happy to provide you with a few suggestions.

Aromas of tropical fruits and stewed fruits combined with soft brown sugar playfully lure your taste buds to experience the rich sensations. On The Palate If having it neat, consider perhaps pairing it with some milk chocolate. This can help in imparting some creaminess, which may increase the smoothness of the palate. Meanwhile, dried fruit can produce additional complexity whereas pastries such as croissants can offer a buttery texture. Made with aged and un-aged rums blended with a sneaky blend of warm vanilla, adding a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon spices. A delightful hint of smokiness from charred American oak barrels also infuses this spirit. Sipped the rum is very average. Again the experience is dominated by strong alcohol notes and a quite harsh alcohol burn. There are very little by way of discernable flavours to be noted. It’s just a young column distilled rum.A salty and sweet primary flavour gives the impression of a relatively umami experience. The overall taste is quite natural and not as sweetened as expected. Meanwhile, Bacardí Gold’s mouthfeel is quite oily. Bacardi Spiced is a gluten-free blend busting with essences of spice and natural flavours. A bold yet satisfyingly smooth taste with a mix of both light and deep notes. On The Nose Its rich honey complexion comes from lying in toasted oak barrels and is filtered through a secret blend of charcoal to give it its unique mellow character. On The Nose

The aroma of light oak infused with vanilla and toffee perfumes intrigues the taste buds. On The Palate Bacardi re-launched this rum only last year in the UK. Until then Bacardi Gold (as it was then) was bottled at 37.5% ABV. This was increased to 40% ABV. Now the whole Bacardi line up has been re-vamped and Bacardi Gold has been re-named in a more contermporary style whilst still keeping some of the distinguishing Bacardi features. Elegantly mellow, with a tangy zest of orange and the taste of grilled almonds. Leaving you with a long, slightly spicy finish and a lingering reminder of walnut and overripe banana. Best Severed Finishes with bursting zesty chocolate orange and sweet apricot jam flavours, lingering into a warm mocha coffee and nutmeg spice that leaves you burning for another sip. Best Severed
