Bacardi Carta Negra Rum (100cl , 40%)
Rich, sweet dark rum from one of the most well known spirits brands in the world – Bacardi. Carries a flavour profile packed with dark coffee, molasses and cinnamon. A perfect dark rum for cocktails and mixed drinks.
Bacardi Carta Negra (formerly Bacardi Black) is a dark, medium-bodied Puerto Rican rum aged in heavily charred American oak casks for up to 4 years. It delivers a bold, complex profile of sweet tropical fruits, molasses, and vanilla, but it garners polarizing feedback.Â
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Rich molasses, burnt caramel, tropical fruits, and heavy wood.
- Taste: Opens with a sweet, velvety mouthfeel and notes of vanilla and orange peel, quickly transitioning into a spicy and slightly bitter, woody finish.
Community Consensus & Reviews
Consumer opinions are heavily divided on this rum:
- Positive Feedback: Many reviewers praise its bold, intense flavors, noting its excellent value for the price. It is frequently highlighted as an ideal mixing rum that holds its own in cocktails without the artificial sweetness found in some other dark rums.Â
- Negative Feedback: Conversely, a consensus among several forum users on platforms like Reddit indicates that it can be harsh and bitter when sipped neat, with some users disliking its sharp or medicinal finish.Â
How to Serve
Because of its bold, sometimes harsh finish, it is rarely recommended as a sipping rum. Instead, experts and enthusiasts suggest using it as a cocktail base. It pairs beautifully with:Â
- Ginger beer or ginger ale with a squeeze of fresh lime.
- Cola or Pepsi.
- Fruit juices, such as pineapple juice combined with lime juice
