Bacardi Cuatro Añejo 4
Poured neat it's light and mild — vanilla, honey and a bit of apricot up front, then a peppery kick and pale oak that fades fast. Most tasters find it thin and a touch synthetic on its own, with a nail-polish edge on the finish. Where it earns its keep is the glass: one member calls it "great for in the mix," and it does a clean job in cola, Cuba Libre or an old fashioned.

How does Bacardi Cuatro Añejo 4 taste?
Aggregated from 104 community reviews.
Light, mild mixer, thin on its own Most agree it's a mild, easy mixer — better than the cheaper Bacardis but thin and a little characterless neat. Several say to spend a bit more for the 8-year.

Review by Master P
Light, honey & vanilla, light wood and some apricot on the nose. Very round for its age and for a Bacardi. In the mouth it has a peppery edge, but remains nicely balanced - but unfortunately quite thin and characterless. Great stuff for cocktails that otherwise need white rum. And that's exactly what it's good for. OK for Cuba Libre
Review by Vincent D
Very soft, sweet nose, dominated by vanilla. A sensation of coconut. It promises to be round and sweet. It is. But not much happens on the palate. A little wood, caramel, all coated with pepper. Not a very pleasant aqueous sensation and a synthetic edge. I didn't check the bottle for additives, but I wouldn't be surprised. To finish in a cocktail.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Surprisingly good, it is a solid, slightly matured rum. Primarily for mixing, of course, with the familiar Bacardi aroma coming through positively. Significantly better than the cheaper Bacardis, price is ok.
Review by Jakob Deiner
Dem Bacardi 8 relativ ähnlich, nur alles etwas zurückgefahren. Leicht fruchtig, minimales Holz und Vanille, pur angenehm und relativ mild. Setzt sich in Ginger Beer eher wenig durch. Für Cola gut geeignet, hat dezentere fruchtige Note als Bacardi 8 (Richtung Aprikose, beim 8er "beisst" sich die für mich mit Cola) Drinks: - Pur: 3.5/5 - Rum Cola: 3/5 - Ginger Beer: 2.5/5
Review by Hubert Pusek
As for me - the best Bacardi.
Review by Jarrod Smith
I actually prefer this to the bottle of Bacardi 8 I have here. Not complex, but decently smooth. Light years ahead of the gold, but still just OK.
Review by w00tAN
Compared to the wood stain that Bacardi otherwise offers a pleasant light representative that you can also drink neat (if the bar nothing else gives)

Review by Schnapsschuesse
Light, honey & vanilla, light wood and some apricot on the nose. For the age and a Bacardi very round. In the mouth he gets his peppery edge, but remains nicely balanced - but just unfortunately quite thin and characterless. Great stuff for cocktails that otherwise need white rum. Exactly for this he is good, and well.
Review by Ven B
Great for old fashioned and white Cuban.

Cocktails are even better!
Review by Stan Hardy
Süß und wässrig. Besser als der Blanco
Review by Oskar Lango
A marketable product that mixes well, when found in a promotion for 70-75zł it is a very competitive item
Review by Benjamin Pavlovic
Kann man für ein Cuba Libre benutzen
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose is vanilla dominate but with a good amount of wood and spices thrown in. There's also a distant iodine like medicinal note that is somewhat unusual. The palate is sweeter than the nose. Lots of caramel and varnished wood with some rasins coming toward the back end. The finish doesn't hang around for long but has a industrial chemical note, similar to nail polish with a hint of caramel. Overall, not actually bad for a cheap Bacardi. Definitely a step up from the Blanca. On the other hand not something to get overly excited about.
Review by Benjamin Putz
Kann man machen. Aber lieber paar Euro mehr ausgeben, und zum 8 jährigen greifen. Deutlicher Unterschied.

Read full review →Same old, same old I'd buy the Major Lazer and the Reserva over this anytime and the new 8 to be honest for only a fiver more. Heck I'd rather pay £15 for Carta Oro when its on offer. Sorry Bacardi but this is the Emporers New Clothes. You can't...
