Bacardi Carta Oro from Puerto Rico is a distinguished rum that stands out with its golden hue and smooth profile. This 750ml bottle, with an ABV of 40%, encapsulates the craftsmanship of the Bacardi Distillery, a brand with a storied history in rum production. Unlike its sibling, Bacardi Blanca, the Carta Oro offers a more complex and layered experience. On the nose, you'll detect caramelized notes mingling with a hint of popcorn and a subtle lime zest, complemented by an undertone of alcoholic warmth and a touch of cola. The palate delivers a soft, bittersweet sensation with flavors of burnt caramel and marshmallow, making it a delightful option for both cocktails and casual sipping. Despite some critiques about its depth, the Bacardi Carta Oro remains a crowd-pleaser, particularly in long drinks, where its gentle profile can truly shine. Ideal for those seeking a versatile rum with classic Cuban notes and a fresh finish.
