2.5/10

On the Rock: On the nose alcohol and slight oak. Hard to Swollow. Very rough and generally unpleasant… has some lingering bitterness. Would not reccomend but is not aweful. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose slight orange fruity with some very mild oak. Taste Reminds me of cough syrup. Tolerable but not enjoyable. If you were forced to drink it, drink it mixed.

Bacardi 

Avg Rating 6.0/10 over 120 Rums

Bacardi is the world's largest privately held spirits company and the inventor of the light Cuban rum style, founded in 1862 in Santiago de Cuba but Cuba-less since the 1960 expropriation: today the rum is distilled mainly in Puerto Rico. The RumX community draws a sharp line between the Carta Blanca mixing base and the aged lines up to the Facundo range.
