About this deal

This rum was bottled in Baccarat crystal decanters and infused with a sherry oak finish. After its huge success, it was released to the public without its pricey attachments of the sherry oak finish and Baccarat crystal decanter in 1996. Finishes with bursting zesty chocolate orange and sweet apricot jam flavours, lingering into a warm mocha coffee and nutmeg spice that leaves you burning for another sip. Best Severed Layers of mellow fruit flavours of apricot, orange and ripe banana flow delicately with the richness of butterscotch vanilla and a mocha coffee. This rare decadent rum won the award for Best Rum in 2020. Not to mention the Grand Gold Quality Award from the Monde selection in Bruxelles for three years running as of 2019. This award-winning reserve adds to the brand’s trailblazing legacy. Beautifully blended from 14 different rums aged 1 to 2 years, this distinctly characterised rum does remind me of a mild spiced rum.

If having it neat, consider perhaps pairing it with some milk chocolate. This can help in imparting some creaminess, which may increase the smoothness of the palate. Meanwhile, dried fruit can produce additional complexity whereas pastries such as croissants can offer a buttery texture. Sipped the rum is very average. Again the experience is dominated by strong alcohol notes and a quite harsh alcohol burn. There are very little by way of discernable flavours to be noted. It’s just a young column distilled rum.Bacardi rums use only three main ingredients; molasses, yeast, and water. Quality molasses from the finest sugar cane plantations are fermented in water with patented Bacardi yeast (discovered by Don Facundo Bacardi Masso), then distilled and aged. What Does Bacardi Rum Taste Like? Rich vanilla, buttery caramel, and toasted almond flavours topped by ripe banana and zesty orange peel. Leaving behind a dry yet, slightly sweet smoked finish. Best Severed Bacardi re-launched this rum only last year in the UK. Until then Bacardi Gold (as it was then) was bottled at 37.5% ABV. This was increased to 40% ABV. Now the whole Bacardi line up has been re-vamped and Bacardi Gold has been re-named in a more contermporary style whilst still keeping some of the distinguishing Bacardi features. For some golden oldies drinks, there are the medium-bodied expertly blended Bacardi rums such as Bacardi Añejo Cuatro that leave you with tantalising flavours. The taste of Bacardi rum is as diverse as its collections of rums. Ranging from your sweet mild-bodied rums to the full-bodied aromatic rums aged to perfection in charred ex-bourbon casks imparting fruity flavours of tropical fruits and warm notes of nutty vanilla spices. How Strong Is Bacardi Rum?

Dried apricot and zesty orange marmalade, plus the warming aroma of chocolate espresso coffee. On The Palate Bacardi Spiced is a gluten-free blend busting with essences of spice and natural flavours. A bold yet satisfyingly smooth taste with a mix of both light and deep notes. On The Nose The aroma of light oak infused with vanilla and toffee perfumes intrigues the taste buds. On The Palate Bacardi Gran Reserva Limitada is Bacardi’s most luxurious blend and a connoisseur’s choice. Bottles are labelled with their blend batch, date of bottling, and bottle number to capture that moment of when it was blended to perfection.Elegantly mellow, with a tangy zest of orange and the taste of grilled almonds. Leaving you with a long, slightly spicy finish and a lingering reminder of walnut and overripe banana. Best Severed

Originally launched in 2011 under Bacardi Oakheart, Bacardi Spiced is a spiced rum that has made an excitingly new debut in 2019 and rejoins the Bacardi rum portfolio. Bacardi Gran Reserva Diez is column distilled, then aged undisturbed in American white oak barrels for a minimum of 10 years. It is filtered through a charcoal blend to give it an extra smooth finish. On The Nose Sweet molasses and warm notes of chicory and nuts with a hint of cacao and an ever slight presence of tropical passion fruit. On The Palate As long as you’re enjoying it, there’s no wrong way to have a drink. However, if you’re not quite sure how to have Bacardí Gold, I’m happy to provide you with a few suggestions.Made with aged and un-aged rums blended with a sneaky blend of warm vanilla, adding a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon spices. A delightful hint of smokiness from charred American oak barrels also infuses this spirit. This rare preserve was first released in 2003 in the distillery’s gift shop to celebrate the incorporation of the visitor centre at Bacardi Cathedral of Rum. It was released to consumers in 2009.

Its rich honey complexion comes from lying in toasted oak barrels and is filtered through a secret blend of charcoal to give it its unique mellow character. On The Nose A salty and sweet primary flavour gives the impression of a relatively umami experience. The overall taste is quite natural and not as sweetened as expected. Meanwhile, Bacardí Gold’s mouthfeel is quite oily. It opens with a simple accord of caramel and nutmeg spice. This soon fades to reveal a heart that combines fudge, gingerbread, and flint mineral. Eventually, it leaves a simple salted caramel finish on the palate. A premium rum created using a column still distillation and aged to perfection for eight years in hand-selected American white oak barrels. After which, it is filtered through Bacardi’s secret mix of charcoal filters. On The NoseAromas of tropical fruits and stewed fruits combined with soft brown sugar playfully lure your taste buds to experience the rich sensations. On The Palate The vanilla taste is complimented with the flavours of nougat and honey, infused with a slight fruit punch of peach, apricot, and cinnamon spice. Leaving you with a zesty taste of green pineapple and cinnamon. Similar to Stiggins’ Fancy Plantation Pineapple. Best Severed
