BACARDÍ Gold rum is the proud creation of the Maestros de Ron Bacardí, charcoal filtered, mellowed from one to two years in toasted American white oak barrels and blended. The liquid brings depth and character to classic rum cocktails, like the Cuba Libre, while maintaining a smooth finish. A light golden rum with a soft oak flavor. Notes of dry vanilla, ginger root, and toasted almond provide a dry and slightly sweet finish.
