Description
Bacardi Reserva Ocho 8 Anos Rare Gold Rum
It started as a family dream in Cuba, back in the 1862 when Don Facundo Bacardí Massó founded BACARDI. He bought a small distillery in Santiago de Cuba and this is where he radically changed the way rum was typically produced, making spirits that were smooth and light bodied. Today, BACARDI is an iconic worldwide brand with production sites across the globe, and with a wide and varied choice of tasty spirits.
Bacardi Reserva Ocho 8 Anos Rare Gold Rum is inspired from a family recipe from 1862 and is known as The Family Reserve, which remained the sole preserve of the Bacardi family for seven generations. It is one of the worlds oldest private rum blends and was only used for very special occassions.
It is a complex golden rum made from a special selection of barrel-aged reserve rums and aged for a minimum of 8 years. On the nose, there aromas of dried apricot and banana leaf and on the palate you'll taste notes of prune, apricot, nutmeg and vanilla. There is oak and spiciness that leads to a delicious and expansive, well rounded finish.
Did you know? The Bat symbol used on the bottle, was inspired by the bats found hanging from the distillery beams. Traditionally they represent health, family unity and prosperity and locals would ask for 'el ron del murcielago' – the rum of the bat
