This is one of my favorite light rums for mixing. Very crisp-feeling and clean-tasting. Mild flavor, but just enough to let you know it is still rum. Totally tolerable "burn", if you can even call it that. Makes a nice Daiquiri. Another one that delivers over its price. If you are a Bacardi Superior person and have not tried this one, seriously, give this one a try.

They make a decently consistent product. Good for mixing, not the best, but still good. Minimal burn. Pretty smooth for what youโ€™d expect actually!

I am not a fan of light rum (even for cocktails) but if you must have that see-through rum in your drink, do yourself a favor and try this instead of Bacardi (Puerto Rico does.) It at least has less burn and medicinal flavor. This is far from a great rum but it's at least tolerable. Recommended for those that choose looks over taste.

This was my intro to rum and liked it from the start. I really like it mixed with Pepsi and will go to it for other mixed drinks as well.

Pretty smooth just like it's gold counterpart, had a little bit of a harsh taste for me on its own surprisingly. Based on other reviews I'm not sure why I'm experiencing the harsher taste, maybe pallet was off.

Great on mixed beverages, had a fair amount of mojitos and simple mixes. Would recommend.

This is a solid 'backbone' rum. It doesn't stand out as compared to other white rums but it has a pleasant, crisp flavor that works well cocktails or a light sip over ice. Definitely better than Bacardi by a stretch.

The nose is faint citrus and vodka-like alcohol, the taste is very mild and smooth, fine vodka with a lemon twist turning towards sweet, which almost disappears when mixed. Considering the price and the fact that there is nothing in the smell and taste which would spoil any drink, it is a nice inoffensive mixer - sometimes you need just that. Much better to spend money on this, than a would-be premium white rums. I usually prefer the white rums with more distinguishable taste that this, but I have to rise my original rating 6 to 8 as this is truly a unique mixer with a clean and mild taste, for a bargain.
