BACARDI Oro (Gold) Cuban Rum 70cl Bottle

Product Information

That was certainly the case for me, anyway—when I fell hard into aged rum in the last few years, I vaulted straight past the accessible, widely available stuff in a quest to try rum’s more intensely characterful niches. I was dimly aware that there were aged expressions from Bacardi that were fairly popular as high-value offerings in mixology settings, but I was in a rush to drink my way through more interesting locales (to me) such as Barbados and Jamaica.

Bacardi Superior is clear, while Bacardi Gold has an amber to a golden hue. As we said earlier, the aging process on ex-bourbon barrels affects the appearance and color of the distilled spirits. However, since Bacardi Superior undergoes filtration after aging, the color is stripped out, making it a colorless rum. While the white rum undergoes additional steps before bottling, the maturity of the distilled spirits gives more character and flavor. Therefore, Bacardi Gold is more expensive than Bacardi Superior.

A tantalizing alphabet

As long as you’re enjoying it, there’s no wrong way to have a drink. However, if you’re not quite sure how to have Bacardí Gold, I’m happy to provide you with a few suggestions.

One of the factors that differentiate the aroma of each spirit is the aging process. Since Bacardi Gold is matured longer in oak barrels, it develops a nutty and buttery aroma. On the other hand, Bacardi Superior has notes of fruits and almonds because it undergoes intensive filtration after aging. Color

After the distillation process, the Bacardi Gold is filtered in a unique blend of charcoal for a mellow character. Bacardi Superior undergoes a double filtration process – one before aging and the second after. The charcoal filtration process works like a magnet and helps achieve a lighter and cleaner rum.

Bacardi Superior is cheaper to make and is less expensive than more mature rums.

In Bacardi Gold vs Superior detailed comparison, we learned that the two have a big difference from classification to the production process. The white rum or silver rum has no color and has a lighter flavor profile. The filtration after maturation helps remove impurities, and this type of rum is used commonly for Mojitos. FAQs Bacardí Gold isn’t particularly complex but it’s not unpleasant. The texture is light and relatively smooth. Indeed, it has a reputation for being rough but that’s not quite the case.

Bacardi Gold has rich, soothing flavors of butter, caramel, vanilla, and toasted almond. It has sweet banana notes, a warm zest of orange peel, and an oak finish. In addition, it has a rich and toasted palate and a dry and slightly sweet finish. Bacardi Gold is aged for two years, while Bacardi Superior is aged for a year in oak barrels.

Bacardi Gold is aged for two years in ex-bourbon barrels and is medium-bodied, while Dark rums are full-bodied and richer. It’s no secret that “serious” rum geeks have a tendency to look straight past the portfolio of Bacardi when it comes to seeking out new tasting experiences. Nor is it surprising—a massive international company (the largest privately held, American-owned spirits company, actually) known for its unaged, inoffensive flagship white rum isn’t the kind of entity that sparks crazy enthusiasm in a community full of devotees for funky, high-ester Jamaican rums or crazy flavorful, earthy rhum agricoles. In contrast, the easygoing, column distilled Spanish-style rums of Bacardi can look a little plain, which can lead to rum geeks never getting around to trying them at all.
