Review by zabo
Here again, pure a disaster, but you can use it as an emergency mixer.
Review by Anton Krioukov
Where is the flavor? Interesting on the nose but lacking in the palette department. Barely better than the Blanca.
Review by Fab’s
Bon pour le coca
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Attention: The bottlings in Germany seem to have all been reduced from 40% to 37.5% in the meantime. The database is no longer correct, new creation or adjustment may be necessary. Compared to the Blanca, there's a lot more going on here. Very smooth with acidic notes, a hint of popcorn and various roasted notes. Classic, very sweet Cuba notes, but complemented by freshness. It remains similar on its own, but this hint of buttery popcorn stands out in particular. I'm surprised how round the Oro is, even if it is super light and meaningless. A nice crowdpleaser in long drinks when there are no nerds around
Review by Kayla Roy
Smells rather soapy in a floral way, but overall not very tasty. Easier to sip than the Blanca.
Review by Tino Muroni
De beste rum voor een cuba libre cocktail! On the rocks overtuigd hij niet
Review by Stefan Pisanu
Zachte beetje zoet bittere smaak met een lange zoete na smaak matig
Review by Kieron Wood
Tasted 14-01-2017 This is another poor rum from the Bacardi family . The flavours are pure cheap distiale with slight oak and caramel to give it that colouring. E numbers will be high from this , another supermarket failure in the UK .
Review by Jean-Claude STATELLO
Léger goût de caramel et de pop-corn. Rhum intermediaire: pas suffisant bon/développé pour être apprécié seul, mais aussi trop travaillé pour être coupé en cocktail. Privilégier un shot léger en apéro

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"Personally I would recommend picking up Cockspur Fine Rum ahead of this or even spending a little more and getting Chairman's Reserve or Doorly's 5 year old. This is better than I thought prior to re-trying but its still in the overall scheme of things pretty average."Read full review →
