![]() Sadly, another bottle with a story to tell about itself rather than the actual rum!!! just the story about blending the rums before ageing. There is no info regarding how the rum is made, nor what kind of casks have been used for ageing, no mention of additives, colouring etc. This is where my positive comments come to an immediate halt. The bottle has an artificial cork enclosure and it is presented in a smart outer box. There is a raised “X” in the glass, recognising the ten years of ageing. The bottle looks far away from the usual Bacardi offerings, definitely a step up in the premium direction. Furthermore, my hydrometers say this is 37% compared to the label’s 40%, implying 12g of sugar has been added. What we have therefore, is a blend of rums between 11 and 12 years old.ĭisappointingly for a company looking to expand into the “premium” or artesenal sector, under Richard Seale’s/Luca Gargano’s proposed rum categorisation, this would most-likely be classed as a “Rum” – from a modern multi column still. I am hoping it is not just Bacardi’s version of marketing b*llsh*t that often infects many rum producers. This is an incredibly difficult art.” Whether or not this is a difficult art, I do not know as I am not a distiller. According to Bacardi though, they use “free” as the translation, which they go on to explain represents the “freedom to create.” Hmmmmmmmmmm!Īccording to Master of Malt this is “A 10 year old blend of rums that was blended before it went into the barrel (with a couple of the rums used already being 1-2 years old at the time). Having Googled the word Eximo, various translations appear ranging from exempt, remove and extract. Eximo is part of Bacardi’s Facundo range, named after the creator Don Facundo Bacardí Massó. ![]() ![]() Possibly aware of people such as myself preferring more artesenal or niche products than mainstream offerings, Bacardi have been expanding their range of rums in recent years and a couple of these have caught my attention. I think that it is essentially distilled to such a high ABV in their multi-columns that very little flavour, if any, remains from the fermentation/distillation. I do not wish to knock Bacardi themselves as they are obviously very good at what they do and hugely successful, but I really do not like their white rum at all. My impression of Bacardi is somewhat tainted by their white rum that is widely available in just about every bar and pub and which for me is a significant reason for why rum struggles to gain a better image in the UK.
