Bacardi Grand Reserva Diez 10 Year Rum
A premium, dark gold sipping rum from Bacardi, barrel-aged for a minimum of 10 years under the Caribbean sun and charcoal filtered for exceptional smoothness.
Bacardi Gran Reserva Diez is a sophisticated expression within the Bacardi premium portfolio, expertly blended and aged for at least a decade in charred white oak barrels. This extended aging process imparts deep, complex flavors and a rich golden hue. Before aging, the rum undergoes Bacardi's signature charcoal filtration, resulting in a remarkably smooth character. Designed for sipping and savoring, Diez offers balanced notes of stone fruits, banana, pear, caramelized vanilla, and oak, making it a luxurious experience for rum enthusiasts.
