Party bartenders and cocktail fans needing huge alcoholic kick in tiki drinks or punches, caring more about strength and mixability than nuanced sipping character.

Review by Alek ZD
I think possibly too strong for its own good.
Review by Kieron Wood
Tasted 10-04-2017 This is bacardis zombie rum and it's a flat as a pancake . It just doesn't deliver on anything other than high proof no flavour . To be fair what I expect from a column still rum that's produced by them .
Review by Kay Schmidtke
Pure, it's a punch in the face with a rum aroma. We call it "Blinker links", because you pass everyone else with it. Especially recommended if you arrive late at a party and want to make up a few meters quickly. I was happy to buy the liter for €25 and have always made do with this rum concentrate for a long time. The taste is indistinguishable from cola if you only use half for a mixture. Unfortunately no longer available since 2016.
Review by Fred SB
Ideal for giving big fruity punches an alcoholic kick, or have it neat and kick yourself in the face.
