Bacardi Gran Reserva Diez Aged 10 Years
Most enjoy its smooth, woody-vanilla profile and see it as Bacardi’s best supermarket sipper; critics find it light, a bit flat and occasionally sharp. Overall: solid but unspectacular.
Drinkers moving up from standard Bacardi or sweet supermarket rums who want a smoother, lightly oaky 40% sipper that still works well in simple cocktails.

7,8:The nose immediately takes on concentrated American oak, with some bourbon aromas. The white wood is justly toasted, gripping the nose just enough to deliver a intensity of vanilla and coconut. Aeration reveals a slightly lighter rum, with some pale fruity notes. The wood is toasted, slightly smoky, floral notes. 7,5:On the palate, the rum is both savory and light, with molasses in the typical style of Cuban tradition. The American oak barrel delivers all it can of gourmet notes such as vanilla, coconut, pear, banana and sweet caramel. Yet the texture remains fluid and light, the rum lightly tingling the taste buds with spiciness. 7,5:The finish brings us closer to a more strongly toasted oak, with dark chocolate, then going deeper into its molten fiber.All is well balanced and smooth. Simple and enjoyable. Edit:1.7.25
Tasted after a 4-year-old and an 8-year-old from the same house. This one is unquestionably the best, and the only one that comes close to a tasting rum. The woodiness is present throughout the tasting, bringing body to a soft, sweet rum. Surprisingly long, darker finish. Not bad.
Woody and fruity on the nose. Raisins, tobacco and tropical fruit on the palate. I drank it with friends as a Cuba Libre and I really enjoyed it. However, it also leaves a good impression when enjoyed on its own. One of Bacardi's best, but not a high-flyer either.
Okish, very light overall with the exception of wood and some spices. I also get the molasses it's made from (especially after some days of Agricole). Drinkable, nothing special, but very much an improvement of the default offerings from Bacardi.
