BACARDI Oro (Gold) Cuban Rum 70cl Bottle

Product Information

Beautifully blended from 14 different rums aged 1 to 2 years, this distinctly characterised rum does remind me of a mild spiced rum. If having it neat, consider perhaps pairing it with some milk chocolate. This can help in imparting some creaminess, which may increase the smoothness of the palate. Meanwhile, dried fruit can produce additional complexity whereas pastries such as croissants can offer a buttery texture. Its rich honey complexion comes from lying in toasted oak barrels and is filtered through a secret blend of charcoal to give it its unique mellow character. On The Nose

Made with aged and un-aged rums blended with a sneaky blend of warm vanilla, adding a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon spices. A delightful hint of smokiness from charred American oak barrels also infuses this spirit. Bacardi re-launched this rum only last year in the UK. Until then Bacardi Gold (as it was then) was bottled at 37.5% ABV. This was increased to 40% ABV. Now the whole Bacardi line up has been re-vamped and Bacardi Gold has been re-named in a more contermporary style whilst still keeping some of the distinguishing Bacardi features.This rare preserve was first released in 2003 in the distillery’s gift shop to celebrate the incorporation of the visitor centre at Bacardi Cathedral of Rum. It was released to consumers in 2009. It is distilled from fermented molasses and elegantly blended from 4-year-old rums. It rests patiently in deeply charred oak barrels before going through a secret charcoal blend. On The Nose

Dried apricot and zesty orange marmalade, plus the warming aroma of chocolate espresso coffee. On The Palate A premium rum created using a column still distillation and aged to perfection for eight years in hand-selected American white oak barrels. After which, it is filtered through Bacardi’s secret mix of charcoal filters. On The Nose

Here at BACARDÍ, rum is our speciality

Originally launched in 2011 under Bacardi Oakheart, Bacardi Spiced is a spiced rum that has made an excitingly new debut in 2019 and rejoins the Bacardi rum portfolio. It opens with a simple accord of caramel and nutmeg spice. This soon fades to reveal a heart that combines fudge, gingerbread, and flint mineral. Eventually, it leaves a simple salted caramel finish on the palate. Sipped the rum is very average. Again the experience is dominated by strong alcohol notes and a quite harsh alcohol burn. There are very little by way of discernable flavours to be noted. It’s just a young column distilled rum.
