#BACARDI FACUNDO EXIMO RUM FULL#

Notes the chairman, with a chuckle: 'We have some family members who would have preferred to keep it to ourselves. The limited release (12,000 bottles in total) will likely disappear quickly and there's no telling when the family will be so expansive again. The flavor is remarkably complex with spices that include cinnamon and cloves, rich layers of vanilla and caramel, sweet fruits, all informed by a nut flavor reminiscent of a Fine Champagne Cognac. The resulting blend also enjoys a Cognac cask finish. Premium rum prepared after mixing various rums of not more than 10 years. Those were trimmed to 40 to 50 and presented to the chairman for his consideration. The Bacardi brand surprises with its new edition Facundo Bacardi Exim 10 Years. Tasters identified 200 rum samples of utmost quality. The ultimate expression is Paraíso ($250), made from 16 to 23 year old stocks. Much of the carefully designed packaging of the collection is also inspired by brand and family history, including its time in Cuba. On the palate, it displays vanilla, maple and nuts.Įxquisito ($95), blended from rums of seven, nine and 23 years old, is then finished in Sherry casks for about a month while the rums marry. As well as contributing an array of fruits-nectarine, pear and grape-the Sherry finish recalls the Bacardi family's Spanish heritage. Manuel Oliver, the master blender, says that because of the heat under which they lay in casks, the rums' maturity is comparable to that of Scotch three times older. The next step up is Eximo ($60) at between 10 and 12 years. While decidedly smooth, it sings of vanilla, rich herbs and marzipan. However, Neo includes age components unheard of in white rum (eight years at the extreme) with three to five years occupying the heart.

The rum is a tribute to the flagship Bacardi Superior.

While all are of exceptional age, the entry level, Neo ($45), is almost clear, with a hint of gold. 'We have the rums that can compete with any Cognac and Scotch.' Bacardi, the current chairman, as well as the great-great grandson and namesake of the founder, took a hands-on role, and says, 'We got together and reflected that it was time to release some rums that family members have been enjoying for years.' An alternate motive behind this sharing was to raise the image of what rum can be, he adds. Named for the originator of world's largest rum brand, Don Facundo Bacardi Masso, the Facundo Rum Collection was born of last year's celebration of the 150th anniversary of the family-owned company.
