From the world's leading rum-maker. Bacardi Gold is a light golden rum with a soft oak flavour. It has rich vanilla, buttery caramel, raisin, toasted almond and sweet ripe banana notes balanced with the warm zest of orange peel and a hint of smoke. It has a dry and slightly sweet finish, retaining a subtle background of oak. Bacardi Gold forms the basis of the Cuba Libre , invented in the American Bar, Havana, in 1900; two years after the end of the Cuban-American war. This ‘cocktail of freedom’ is one of the most popular cocktails in the world today. Bacardi Gold is hand blended by Maestros de Ron Bacardi using rum aged between 1 and 2 years in oak barrels. This gold rum is designed to bring depth and character to classic rum cocktails, whilst still being smooth in its flavour.
