$17 on sale in NC and with a cork! I don't really drink silver or blanco rum. I bought it to make Bicardi cocktails.(They were fantastic!) N - heavy with chemicals...acetone, nail polish, heat...nothing else really...maybe some vodka notes....??? P - sweetness, smoothness, the sugar is VERY hard to define...it almost tastes like micro distillery vodka mixed with simple syrup, tailing traditional rum notes. F - more sweetness, medium finish with no harsh aftertaste...a bit of spice late. Overall very good for what it is. I DID NOT like the neck pour. After it has aired out...its really "good". However, I bought it for mixing. It is so docile and un-offending that I am afraid it might get lost in rum cocktails...since it is free of the rum flavors. For my money, I will use Plantation 5 year and deal with the cocktail not being "clear". Bicardi Silver is a pretender compared to this. I wish someone in college would have bought this instead of the other...
