Part of Bacardi’s Facundo Collection, named after founder Don Facundo Bacardi Masso, Eximo (meaning to be free) is a blend of rums vatted prior to ageing in American white oak barrels for a minimum of 10 years.

Some of the rums were already 1-2 years old at the time of vatting so some of the rums in the finished product have been aged 12 years.
