"In this blend of select aged rums, each of the constituent rums is at least 15 years old. Some are much older. To achieve the superb colour, smooth taste and full fragant aroma, the rums are matured in 45 gallon oak casks in an ideal natural climate for ageing - within six degrees of the equator on the tropical north coast of South America."

"Bright amber color. Aromas of baked bananas, fig, vanilla bean ice cream, and oily nuts follow through on a round, supple entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium body with tobacco leaf, cedar, cola nut, and varnished wood notes. Finishes with a lively, toasty praline, spice and mineral fade. Well made and satisfying." Gold Medal.

The classic Bacardi Gold Rum in a shatterproof plastic bottle.

"Lush aromas of dark chocolate, toasted coconut, caramelized nuts are inviting. A round, satiny entry leads to a rich full body of toffee, brown spices, ripe banana, and creamy vanilla flavors. Finishes with a long, sensuous fade of warm chocolate, cream, and bourbon barrel oak. A hedonistic delight with wonderful depth of flavor and complexity."

"Deep amber color. Bold aromas of buttery caramel, warm Creme Anglaise, toasted nuts, and cherry cola follow through on a smooth, satiny entry to a dryish medium-full body with cascading waves of nutmeg, vanilla, leather, and cigar box and peppery spice flavors. Finishes with an extremely long, sensuous interplay of wood spice, dried fruits and praline. An amazingly smooth and refined aged rum." Platinum Medal.
