"I like this rum a little better than a white Bacardi or Havana 3y, but of course it's nothing to enjoy neat. The smell is quite solid. Drinkable, yes, but always with an unpleasant alcoholic sharpness and very thin. There's not much more to say."

"Really repulsive in the smell. The taste is smooth and sweet but quite weak"

"The smell is terrible, taste actually better then what I have expected. Not suitable for sole drinking (sipping). I have used that sometimes for topping on cocktails but generally I recommend to avoid it. If you would like to use dark rum for topping, use better rum."

"Is it just me, or is there no appreciable difference in quality between all low-budget Bacardis?"
