Named 'Bacardi Oro' after the Spanish word for 'gold', this rum was first produced in 1862. Bacardi Gold is blended from 14 different rums aged one-to-two years to produce a rum with a more pronounced flavour profile than Bacardi Superior.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 06/06/2014

Appearance:

Clear, pale golden.

Aroma:

Restrained butterscotch, toffee and muscovado sugar with light oak.

Taste:

Rich 'burnt' palate with hints of charcoal, vanilla, toffee, fudge, dry walnut and citrus fruit. Faint top notes of what I describe as Bacardi's distinctive mushroom/blue cheese yeast.

Aftertaste:

Citrus and fudge with faint blue cheese.
