Bacardí Presents Its First Spiced-Aged Rum

Bacardí launched Caribbean Spiced, its first premium spiced aged product, made of distinctive flavors such as pineapple, coconut, vanilla, and cinnamon. The spirit is bottled at 40% ABV.

According to the company, the magic of the new BACARDÍ Caribbean Spiced comes from the coconut sugar blossom, a unique and widely unused part of the coconut. In this sense, the expression uses the sweetness of coconut blossom combined with cinnamon, vanilla, and the subtle oaky char from the barrel. 

For this expression, Bacardí’s uses both a heavy-aged rum base, which provides molasses flavors, and a light-aged rum base, blending coconut blossom sugar, coconut water, and pineapple. Vanilla and cinnamon are blended into the spirit after being rested and filtered. After that, there is a further rest and a second polishing filter to define its clarity and color.

Caribbean Spiced was crafted by Bacardí’s rum blender, Noidys Herrera, who has been working on her craft for more than a decade, alongside Bacardi’s global master blender, Troy Arquiza. She was inspired by the love of her hometown in the Caribbean. She grew up surrounded by coconut trees and became fascinated by their properties and flavor qualities.

This rum was created for all occasions, whether combined with cola or in a premium cocktail. So, amateur or avid mixologists can create the best-quality drinks whenever the mood strikes. They aim to offer consumers a sensory experience that transports them to the Caribbean with every sip. 

The new expression is the brand’s first spiced-aged rum. It was created with the market in mind. Today, flavored and spiced rums are the fastest-growing segments in rum, so consumers’ desire to try unique flavors and aged rums has increased as well. Consequently, BACARDÍ Caribbean Spiced flavors and aged rum quality were intensified to create the best craftsmanship and taste.
