I tend to agree about the Bacardi Rums. Seems like about twenty years ago Bacardi and Ron Rico were in a marketing battle with the key element being universal mixability. They both wanted to reach out and seemingly grab some of the vodka market or maybe those consumers that really didn't like the taste of alcohol and wanted it masked any yet still wanted to be hip. I drank it with cola alot when I wasn't having blended whiskey with cola. On a camping trip, a more sophisticated buddy introduced me to Mount Gay Eclipse. I think it still is my favorite rum to this day.
