World Rum Guide Review
Bacardi Carta Oro Rum is an accessible entry-level rum that is best served in long drinks such as a Cuba Libre. While harsh on the nose and palate it is not intended for neat drinking but does carry expected characteristics of vanilla, caramel and light oak. It fits the role well as an affordable mixing rum. - Paul Jackson, 2018
