Bacardí Superior White Rum
Silver Rum — Puerto Rico
Reviewed November 17, 2023 (edited September 6, 2024)Very neutral nose, with faint accents of grapefruit, lime, and sugarcane. Mildly oily, round mouthfeel, with a little bit of heat. The same subdued notes from the nose reappear on the palate, with the addition of subtle nutmeg and vanilla which predominate on the short finish. It's not undrinkable – but don't expect it to be pleasant on its own or to stand out in any cocktail. 2.00/5.00 – Bad (neat) -
