Bacardi 8 Year Old Rum

Bacardi Superior at 40% ABV is best used as a cocktail base rather than sipped neat. The light molasses, green herb, and faint vanilla character that defines the style is specifically designed for the Daiquiri, the Mojito, and the Cuba Libre. Bacardi 8 Anos, matured for a minimum of eight years, has sufficient dried fruit and oak spice complexity to be served over a single large ice cube with nothing added.

Yes. Bacardi is a Puerto Rico produced white and aged rum distilled from molasses, a by product of sugar cane processing. The brand operates as the world's largest privately held spirits company. The Bacardi Superior white rum is column distilled and charcoal filtered for a clean, light profile. The aged expressions, including Bacardi 4, 8, and the Gran Reserva range, are matured in used American bourbon barrels.

Yes. Bacardi rum is distilled from molasses derived from sugar cane, which contains no gluten. There are no grain based ingredients in standard Bacardi rum production. The distillation process would remove any trace proteins in any case. Bacardi is safe for individuals with gluten intolerance and coeliac disease. Flavoured Bacardi expressions should be checked individually as additives may vary.

Bacardi Superior's clean profile suits fresh lime juice and sugar in a Daiquiri, or fresh mint, lime, and soda in a Mojito, where the light spirit acts as a carrier for the other flavours. Bacardi Gold works well with ginger beer and lime as a Dark and Stormy alternative. The aged Bacardi 8 is best served over ice or with a small measure of coconut water, which complements the vanilla and dried fruit without masking the oak character.

Bacardi is distilled from molasses, a thick by product of the sugar refining process from sugar cane. The molasses is fermented using a proprietary yeast strain that the Bacardi family has maintained since 1862, originally sourced from a bat cave in Santiago de Cuba. The fermented wash is then column distilled, charcoal filtered through white oak charcoal, and either bottled young for the white expressions or matured in used American bourbon barrels for the aged range.
