Facundo Exquisito Aged Rum

This aged Puerto Rican rum is distilled from molasses and made by Bacardi under the Facundo name, bottled at 40% ABV. It drinks like a rum meant for slow sipping rather than mixing by the shaker-full. The nose opens with cinnamon, dates and dark berries over toasted oak, and the palate builds in waves of raisin and apricot, warm baking spice and a touch of butterscotch before a lingering, warming finish. That rich but mellow balance makes it a natural step up for anyone moving from cocktail rums toward neat pours, and whiskey or brandy drinkers will recognize its dried-fruit depth. Enthusiasts will enjoy pouring it alongside other aged rums to see how much fruit and spice a molasses base can carry. We carry it because it rewards attention in the glass without demanding expertise. It makes a polished Old Fashioned, and it even earns a place in the kitchen, drizzled over chocolate desserts or folded into a custard.
