RAISING YOUR BAR

What’s behind every bottle of BACARDÍ aged rum, such as this special, rare bottling of BACARDÍ Gran Reserva Diez.

-

1. BACARDÍ is a family company with more than 150 years of Maestros de Ron (rum masters) expertise.

2. This is a master blender’s reserve rum, perfect for sipping neat or on the rocks as you would any premium barrel-aged spirit.

3. BACARDÍ was founded in Cuba and is now made in Puerto Rico.

4. The dark golden hue comes from undisturbe­d oak aging, which also creates bright notes of banana, pear and tropical melon balanced by caramelize­d vanilla and oak flavours.

5. Gran Reserva is the term BACARDÍ uses to denote a mature rum, long aged under the Caribbean sun.

6. BACARDÍ validates that no rum younger than 10 years old is in this bottle; in fact, the blend likely includes 11 and 12-yearold rums to achieve the desired, complex flavour profile.
