Bacardi Gold Reserve (Añejo)

5.5/10 16 community reviews ↓

An approachable, unsweetened column-still Bacardi with a dry, woody profile at 40%. RumX members find tobacco, burnt sugar, vanilla and light fruit, but note it drinks thin and feels far from “premium.”

The liquid History of Puerto Rico - vielen Dank an Artur für die Teilung! Etwas Fasseinfluss, Holz, Vanille, nicht so schlecht.

Arturs Puerto Rico Tasting, danke für die tolle Übersicht und Historie :-) Jetzt drei Bacardi Gold Reserve in Vergleich. Deutlich dunkler, Tabak, verbrannter Zucker, leichte Pfeffernoten. Gefällt, aber etwas dünn

Grundsolider und in sich runder Rum, mit dezent überzogenem Preis 😅 schwarzer Pfeffer, dunkle Schokolade, gebranntes Karamell, angenehme Viskosität. Kann ich mir gut zur Zigarre vorstellen, wenn man drauf steht.

The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Nr. 13 - sehr alkoholisch in der Nase, daneben Holz/ Fass und Vanille, etwas Nuss. Nicht mehr so wässrig wie die DonQ's. Alkohol in Gaumen und Abgang in Ordnung

5.7/10

Dégustation des rhums de Puerto Rico d’Artur. Un nez vif avec du caramel, des fruits, un côté minéral et du végétal. La bouche est très décevante avec des arômes trop fins, de la douceur et un alcool bien présent. La finale est courte avec un alcool neutre à la fin et quelques arômes. Après un assez beau nez, le reste est très éloigné du rhum premium qu’il est censé être.

Rum No. 13 erneut Vanille und Holz. Vielen Dank Artur für diese Mega-Split Reise durch Rums aus Puerto Rico. Danke auch für die Arbeit die du für uns immer wieder auf dich nimmst und alte Flaschen für uns möglich machst! 😊

06.12.2024 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Erstmal vielen Dank an Artur für die extreme Mühe und dass du teilweise so alte Rums überhaupt teilst. Die Rums selber waren jetzt bis auf ein paar wenige Ausnahmen nicht wirklich der Knaller, ABER mir hat es trotzdem sehr gut gefallen, da man solche Rums überhaupt nicht mehr ins Glas bekommt als Normalsterblicher und dieses ganze Hintergrundwissen das Artur geteilt hat finde ich wahnsinnig interessant. Da ziehe ich wirklich den Hut davor. Dicker Respekt!

6:On the nose, the first impression we get is pleasant with tropical fruits, the wood gives us a caramel, it comes a bit alcoholic, there are also some apples, pears. 4,7:On the palate, the attack is thin, bitter and alcoholic with sweet, burnt sugar, a but smoky, there are some spices, fruits and a tobacco. 5:The finish is quite short and dry, alcoholic with burnt sugar, caramel, wood spice and citrus, tobacco...
