Setting the standard in white rum, Bacardi is known worldwide. In 1862 it became the world’s first premium aged white rum and using charcoal filtration was key to its original development. Bacardi is a necessity for many world famous cocktails and without we’d not have the classic Daiquiri, the Mojito or the Cuba Libre. Smooth and gentle on the palate it’s wonderful however you choose to mix it and offers a taste of Cuba which can’t be compared.
Bacardi is best known for their world famous white rum but here Bacardi 8 Year Old is an intense, red-gold offering which is exceptional when added to spiced cocktails or enjoyed neat. The aroma is awash with buttery caramel, orange marmalade and banana leaf notes which lead to a medium bodied flavour which allows sweet Demerara sugar, apricots and gingerbread to take centre stage. Butterscotch and vanilla notes linger throughout with just a touch of nutmeg spice finishing it off.
Havana Club Selección de Maestros is a uniquely created triple barrel aged rum which has a distinctive red glow. Toasted pecans and deep spices fill the nose and this woody character continues in the mouth feel. Round and buoyant the palate is tantalised and teased by the zesty candied sweetness this rum offers yet tempered by warming toffee, tobacco and mild brown spices. A balanced flavour which allows the intensity of oak to help build its unique profile.
