Review: Bacardi Banana Rum

by Jeff Ellingson

Bacardi Banana Rum was just released.  This is one of ten flavored rums in their current product line.  If you thought they had more, they did at one time, but several flavors have been dropped.  Bacardi Banana starts with a rum base made from molasses, and a single strain of yeast, Le Levadura Bacardi.  After fermenting for 30 hours in closed fermentation tanks, the fermented molasses is split.  Some is column distilled, and some beer distilled.  Each is aged separately in charred American white oak barrels previously used to age bourbon.  Once mature the rums are blended and filtered through a mix of charcoal made from tropical woods and coconut shells.  Natural flavors are infused before bottling at 70 proof.  While this is Bacardi’s first banana flavored rum I have already reviewed 7 other banana flavored rums.  I can’t wait to see how Bacardi Banana Rum compares with the others.The aroma is somewhere between fresh banana pudding and banana taffy, with vanilla, caramel, and molasses with an allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg backing.  The caramel and vanilla entry is joined by banana Laffy Taffy taste.  It fades with banana custard and runny caramel flavor, and finishes with white rum, brown sugar and a warm mild peppery sting.  While Bacardi Superior Rum is a fine mixing rum, I have found the Bacardi flavored rums to be over sweet, and the flavor selection a little odd.  The good news is most of those flavors are gone, and the new ones are much better.  Bacardi Banana Rum continues this trend.  I think a more accurate name for this rum would be Bacardi Banana’s Foster Rum, as the flavor profile of banana, caramel, brown sugar and baking spice brings back memories of Banana’s Foster.  That said this is a very tasty rum that is smooth enough to serve on the rocks, and at 70 proof, that could be very dangerous.
