Bacardi Oakheart

So picture this, an Australian in USA goes to the bar asks what rum they have ..... guess who made a very recurring appearance ? This guy. At first I wasn't too impressed, however after a few you kinda get used to the taste , even for a non spiced fan. I did polish off a bottle whilst in Florida, good times.

To make it a little bit sweeter, I decided to mix it with maple
syrup, which made a quite good combination.

It was my first, it is nice, but too pricey in Australia.

Honestly, for the price point, I don’t hate it. It’s very brown sugar and vanilla in a standard way. Definitely steps up a cocktail a bit. I’d recommend it overall because it would appeal to most people

Gives a little extra smokiness to your usual Bacardi spiced. Pretty nice in soda. Not meant to be tried alone though.

For the price of it, this is a really nice rum and easily recpmenable. Even better without a mixer

At £16 for a litre it ok value, better rums available

In einigen Cocktails oder mit Cola trinkbar jedoch nichts besonderes und nichts für ein zweites Mal.

The only rum choice at a business event. Sweet vanilla flavor. Drinkable. Can’t see mixing this with coke . Sweetness would be overpowering

I did not expect a rating this high for a budget Bacardi rum, but this spiced rum deserves a 6. It is smooth enough to drink neat and ice cubes improve it. It is sweet with 20 gpl of added sugar, so it is not a sugar bomb. This one can also be used as a seasoning for tropical drinks.

To give you an idea how strong the taste of this one is, I used it as a seasoning for a fairly bland drink and the Oakheart flavor still dominated. It was 1 part Oakheart, 4 parts cheap white rum, and 8 parts coconut water. You get the picture?
