Facundo Exquisito is a premium dark rum from the Bacardí family's Facundo Rum Collection, a hand-picked blend of rums aged from seven to 23 years and finished in sherry casks. It is bottled at 40% ABV.
The rum embodies the culture, music and fashion of Havana's heyday, when nightlife ruled supreme and Cuba offered weary Americans a brief respite from Prohibition. Many of the medium- to full-bodied rums in the blend are filtered over activated charcoal before being aged in oak barrels, and the sherry-cask finish lends an incomparably mellow profile.
Delicate and exquisite by nature, it is sublimely smooth and effortlessly drinkable, with a suave, sociable character and a smooth, warm finish.
The bottle's bold copper and black label makes it a striking gift.
Sip it on the rocks, or use it in your favourite rum cocktail.
Aged rum is one of the most diverse spirits in the world, shaped by the sugarcane, the still and the warm climates where it matures, which speed up the interaction between spirit and wood.
The Facundo collection is named for Facundo Bacardí Massó, who founded his family's rum business in Santiago de Cuba in 1862, and it draws on the family's private reserves of aged rums. Filtering young rum over charcoal before ageing removes harsher compounds, so the oak and the sherry cask can build a rounder, more refined spirit over the years.
Exquisito sits in the middle of the collection, between the lighter Neo and the older Paraíso, and is designed to be enjoyed slowly, much like a fine whisky or cognac.
