Bacardi Superior

Most of the awful reviews, I would wager, are from snobs. Which is fine, a bit of snobbery is definitely needed in any niche community. But I think sometimes, that snobbery can lead to hyperbole, especially when something extremely popular is the topic of discussion.

Is Bacardi a "good" rum? No. It's not very smooth, it doesn't have any unique flavor to it, and it won't impress your friends. But it's not a "bad" rum either. If I were in the mood for rum, and this was the only thing I could find, I certainly wouldn't pass it up. I wouldn't be ashamed of Bacardi the way that I have been some other rums.

I can't say I recommend it, hence the lack of a positive rating, but I can't say I'm against it, hence the lack of a negative rating. This is a generic, default rum.

This really isn’t rum. It offers no rum flavor. It is a serviceable utility mixer for blends where generic alcohol works, but it doesn’t have much value beyond that.

I enjoy this mostly when I go out for more than just a couple of drinks... mainly because at that point I don’t care what I’m drinking and it’s usually the cheapest!

Wow not so good straight. But good for mixing if you want to keep a rum bite in your rum and coke. But has a heavy burn straight.

For me, mixing makes this generic rum tolerable...

Horrible and not good tasting at all. Drink Flor De Cana

Has a smooth taste and is priced reasonable for a drink most would like

Burns. Alcohol. Gasoline. Still yet, drinkable; it has some taste.

It's Bacardi. What else is there. Only really good for mixed cocktails and frozen drinks. Let's keep it at that.
