Bacardi Gold Rum (75cl, 40%)

Bacardi Gold is a gold rum from Puerto Rico, mellowed in toasted oak barrels and blended for depth and character. It is made using a mix of rum aged in toasted American oak barrels, then filtered to maintain a golden colour while preserving rich flavour. Master blenders select rums aged up to two years. It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. Bacardi was founded in 1862. On the nose it shows vanilla, toffee, subtle tropical fruit and a touch of toasted almond. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, with caramel, stone fruit, mild spice and soft smokiness from oak ageing. The finish is clean, with lingering molasses, vanilla and light peppery heat.
