In the Glass

Brilliant copper color.

The nose is absolutely seductive and lovely marrying youthful spirit notes with subtle barrel accents offering scents of dried orchard fruits with wild honey, allspice, oak, and vanilla bean.

The palate echoes the nose delivering a vibrant core of sweet molasess foiled by a bright dose of acidity that finishes with a waves of brown baking spices and oak.

Medium-bodied with ideal balance thanks to the lively acidity found at the core.

Cool Factor

We love to see spirits that showcase the skills and stocks of large distillers, demonstrating that craft is a product of care and mastery.

Value Grade

Selling at just under $20 a bottle, less in competitive markets, the Bacardi Añejo is a terrific bargain.

Analysis

The Bacardi Añejo Cuatro is the youngest and most thrifty of Bacardi's new premium portfolio and it just happens to be our favorite of the group. We love the balance and the natural Rum flavors free of sugar and loaded with complex Rum accents. After landing in Cuba in the 1800s, Don Facundo Bacardi Maso became a wine merchant. With a talent for blending, he created a lighter style of Rum by introducing column stills to Cuba. In 1958, the family fled Cuba’s political instability and established headquarters in Puerto Rico and have since become the world’s largest Rum producer.

How to Enjoy

This complex Rum is great to sip neat but it is ideally utilized in your best Rum cocktails.
