00:00 Introduction
To review this Bacardí White Rum, the Bespoke Unit Rum Reviewer was used. This is a quantifiable review matrix that you can use at home for your own reviews. Download it at the written review link above.
01:03 Bacardí White Rum Overview
Most are familiar with Captain Morgan's spiced rum. The white rum, on the other hand, is a crisp, clean, and fresh rendition of the brand that is suitable for mixing any of your favorite rum cocktails.
The bottle of Captain Morgan's White Rum is simple, clean and minimalistic with Captain proudly featured on the front and a metal screw cap. The price range for this presentation is about 11 or12 euros, depending on where you are. And finally, it's 37.5% ABV so definitely in the very low spectrum of a spirit or a rumr.
02:40 Robe & Appearance
In the glass, this Bacardí White Rum is crisp and clean. There's not much to be said in terms of color and the viscosity is medium, with permanent legs running down the side of the glass, but in a rather fast fashion.
03:09 Nose
The first nose is fresh and green, with a lot of vanilla and coconut and a slight green unripe banana. It definitely has a bit of a funky ester-like smell to it that you would expect from a Jamaican rum, for example. The second note of the nose reveals some more of the caramel sweetness, slightly roasted coconut, and a hint of American white oak with a charred woodiness that is not overly prominent but just ever so slightly in the back to give it all a bit of maturity and depth.
Overall, it's clean, straightforward, and refreshing without being too complex or intricate.
04:09 Bacardí White Rum Taste Review
Given that this is 37.5% rum, it remains light though I can still detect a little bit of an alcoholic burn. On the palate, you can feel there is a bit of sweetness and tanginess without sacrificing the fresh white rum experience.
Bacardi White Rum has a short finish, so if you're looking for an inexpensive white rum that will provide a clean sheet for a rum and coke, daiquiri, or Mojito, this is a great option.
The complexity is medium, the length rather short, and the flavor characteristics on the second layer are slightly zesty. There's a little bit of the coconut present as well that we had already in the nose, a bit of vanilla, and most definitely the green unripe banana.
06:11 Captain Morgan White Rum Pairings
In terms of pairings, because I spoke of green bananas quite a bit, I think a few dried banana chips make for a lovely combination as they can provide you a bit of saltiness to counter the sweetness of the rum of the cocktail you may employ it in.
06:41 Captain Morgan White Rum Cocktails & Cigar Pairs
When it comes to long drinks and cocktails, I'm not a huge rum and coke fan. I'd much rather have Captain White Rum with ginger beer as it gives more spice and character. You could also pour this with a grapefruit tonic or even a bitter lemon. Classic daiquiri works just a treat with this one as well, but keep in mind it will give you a lighter and less full-bodied experience compared to the other white rums that are out there in the market.
If you're a fan of a Mojito, I would opt for an older rum, but Captain Morgan White Rum could nevertheless work in a pinch.
On cigars, this white rum would be quite a good combination with a light cigar. Personally, I paired it with Davidoff Dominicana, which features tobaccos from 2014 crop. It brings a lot of complexities and the rum is just a blank sheet underneath that will work as a sort of a flavor enhancer without contributing all too much by itself.
07:46 Overall Experience
Bacardi White Rum is definitely worth a try. It is a super affordable bottle so it's awesome bang for your buck. You could have this for a summer party by the pool side with friends when you simply want to drink some rather uncomplicated long drinks and enjoy yourselves.
