Bacardi Oakheart

I have not been a fan of the Bacardi line up. After some bad advertising and being led to believe their Spiced was the same.
On the nose, I get a citrusy vanilla combo. But the taste is pleasantly better! A brief spice note gives way to citrus followed by vanilla and a honey note.

I would go for this if you want to sip straight. Good flavors of spice

I find myself drinking this with cola at bars , where it’s the only “dark” rum, as there are only white rums. One could argue why I went to such a bar in the first place. But it beats a Bacardi Blanca in cola.

Tasted 1/3/22 at Laka Lono
Note that this is a rum made in Puerto Rico, not a Puerto Rican rum.
This is a nice normal spiced rum, something I appreciate.

Smoother than Capt in my opinion. (and often cheaper!)
My go to house rum for all things cola!

Good rum for drinking with coke, makes interesting conocotion when mixed :)

Ak si chcete pochutnať na korenistom rume s kolou za rozumnú cenu, tak nesliapnete vedľa

Good spiced rum for its price.
Of the entire budget line of Bacardi, Oakheart looks the most decent among the others.
It's very sweet, but it's not a problem for coke

Artificial colour, lots of unnecessary flannel, annoying advertisements that try to convince you that this is a man's drink.
Now, I have zero interest in machismo, but if this is a man's drink, I am curious what a lady's drink would be like.

Syrupy mouthfeel, very sweet. Similar to Captain Morgan Spiced: Chocolaty, cocoa, a bit of raisin. There is a hint of wood in the background, which is missing in the Captain Morgan. This really is a liqueur. And I guess it could be flavoured vodka just as well.

A "rum" for people who do not like rum. I do not see the point.

Better taste to original Bacardi but still not great
