LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The gold standard for aged mixing rums. It has enough age to be sipped but is affordable enough to elevate any cocktail without guilt.

The Library Note

Known as 'The Family Reserve,' this rum was originally not sold to the public. It is a blend of rums aged between 8 and 16 years. It represents the deeper, more complex side of Puerto Rican rum, moving beyond the light mixers the brand is famous for.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Dried apricot, banana leaf, and woody vanilla with a hint of nutmeg.

THE PALATE

Smooth and oaky. Flavors of butterscotch, dried stone fruits, and sweet spices.

THE FINISH

Medium-long with a dry, oaky vanilla fade.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

The 'Old Cuban': 2 oz Bacardi 8, 1 oz lime juice, 0.75 oz syrup, 2 dashes bitters, mint leaves. Shake and top with Champagne. It's a Mojito dressed in a tuxedo.
