Bacardi 10Y Gran Reserva Diez 0,7L 40%

Bacardi Gran Reserva Diez 10Y is a premium dark golden rum intended primarily for slow sipping. The name Diez, Spanish for “ten,” refers to at least ten years of aging in oak barrels under the Caribbean sun. After aging, the rum is filtered through charcoal to give it a smoother, more refined character.

Aging:

Bacardi Gran Reserva Diez 10Y ages for at least 10 years in oak barrels. Subsequent filtration through charcoal helps refine the resulting profile and highlight its balance.

Tasting Profile:

Color: Dark gold to amber.

Aroma: Almonds and ripe peaches.

Taste: Banana, pear, and vanilla complemented by caramelized and oaky notes.

Finish: Long and pleasant, with notes of pineapple and cinnamon.

Extended aging yields a rich combination of ripe fruit, vanilla, and oak. Fresh notes of stone fruit, banana, and pear gradually blend with caramelized vanilla and the woody character of the barrels. The result is a complex and harmonious rum with a pleasantly fruity and spicy finish.

Recommended serving:

It is best enjoyed neat at room temperature or over a large ice cube. Thanks to its rich character, it is also well-suited for premium rum cocktails, where the flavor of the rum itself should be a prominent part of the final drink.

About Bacardi:

February 4, 1862 marked the beginning of a new era for rum when Don Facundo Bacardi Massó purchased the first distillery in Santiago de Cuba for 3,500 pesos. With a vision to create a rum that would meet the demands of the growing middle class, he began experimenting with distillation techniques and raw materials. His innovations included the use of a special yeast strain, known as “La Levadura BACARDÍ,” which was selected for its ability to impart the rum’s characteristic flavor profile. This strain is still used today and forms the basis of BACARDÍ rum’s unique character.

Don Facundo Bacardí Massó developed a double-distillation method, combining aguardiente and redestilado to achieve a balance between robust and delicate profiles, which was revolutionary at the time. He was also a pioneer of charcoal filtration and targeted aging, which to this day form the core practices of Bacardí’s master blenders.

Seven generations of the Bacardí family have kept this innovative spirit alive, producing rums that are prized around the world. Bacardí boasts the title of the world’s most awarded rum and offers a wide range, from light rums for cocktails to dark aged rums.
