Bacoo - 12 Year Old Rum 750ml

BACOO Rum 12-Year represents the pinnacle of the estate's aging program in the Dominican Republic. This bronze-hued spirit is crafted from fresh sugarcane juice rather than sourced molasses, ensuring a farm-to-glass purity that connoisseurs demand. Twelve years of resting in ex-bourbon barrels creates a velvety, medium-to-full body. The nose is a rich tapestry of toasted fig bread and spiced chocolate pistachio toffee.

On the palate, the experience is both bright and fruity. You will find indulgent notes of tres leches cake and creamy creme brulee. What truly sets this aged rum apart is its complex and engaging finish. It offers a tingling sensation with unique hints of sarsaparilla and spumoni gelato. Rare touches of pink peppercorn, bitter barks, and honeyed epazote provide a sophisticated herbal edge. These savory and botanical undertones offer a level of depth rarely seen in traditional Caribbean rums.

While the name pays homage to the legendary Caribbean spirit said to dwell in floating bottles, the quality of this 12-year expression is grounded in serious craftsmanship. It possesses the elegance required for sipping neat in a crystal glass. However, its robust profile also makes it a formidable base for elevated classic cocktails. This is a spirit of remarkable consistency and distinct character that rewards the patient explorer.
