Bacardi Gran Reserva Ocho 8 Year Old Rum (70cl, 40%)

Bacardi Gran Reserva Ocho is an aged rum matured for at least eight years in American white oak casks. The base is a distillate from molasses, aged under the Caribbean sun in Puerto Rico. It was originally reserved for the Bacardi family and is now one of the distillery's flagship rums. The warm climate gives an intense interaction between wood and distillate, contributing to a soft texture and amber colour. The nose shows ripe apricots, plums and fine syrup, with subtle fennel and oak notes. The palate combines tropical fruits, pineapple and creamy butterscotch, with nutmeg and fine spices. The finish is balanced, with vanilla and gentle oak spice lingering.
