Bacardi Razz Raspberry 32% presents a bold, fruit-forward expression of flavored rum that puts raspberry at the center. The spirit greets the glass with a bright hue suggestive of ripe red berries and an inviting clarity that promises vibrant fruit character.
On the nose the profile leans toward pure raspberry: crushed summer berries, a touch of tartness and a sweet jammy note. Aromas are immediate and easy to read, making the bottle well suited for casual sipping and for use in mixed drinks where a clear berry presence is desired.
Palate-wise the liquid combines sugary raspberry sweetness with the warming backbone of rum at 32% ABV. Flavors are juicy and accessible, with a candy-like fruit core balanced by a light, subtly warming finish rather than heavy oak or spice. The overall experience is round, bright and playful rather than austere.
Texture is smooth and gliding, carrying the fruit flavors across the tongue without harshness. The finish leaves a lingering berry echo and a gentle warmth that reminds the palate of the spirit base without dominating the fruit.
Tasting profile and sensory notes

How to enjoy and pair
Serve chilled or over ice to mellow sweetness and highlight fresh fruit flavors. Mixing with soda water or sparkling lemonade creates a light, fizzy long drink that emphasizes the raspberry character.
