Bacardi Facundo Exquisito 24yr 40%

"This one is slightly better than the Eximo and the first thing is that this one has g far more wood to it. I guess many wont like the woody notes. The nose is fruity with vanilla followed by coconut and caramel. A hint of sherry is there as well. The palate is balanced and sweet with fruit and vanilla. Caramel, molasses and sherry follows. Here the oak really hits you, seriously. The finish is also full of oak, sweet and fruity with spices. Looking at the price the Eximo is the better option considering price to quality. "

"I would have loved to taste this before the watering down. It’s really good, but way too weak. At around 50% ABV I would probably have given it around 80-85 points. - Three years since last tasting and I agree. Please give me more ABV and this would be quite good."

"On The Rocks: On the nose a rich aroma of brown sugar and some hints of coffee. Taste is rich and complex with layers of flavours stacking. There is brown sugar, coffee, molasses and mild sweet fruit. The finish is long with the brown sugar and molasses continuing. This is a delicious and complex rum. Mixed Pepsi Zero: on the nose Pepsi Zero. Taste revealed a smooth sweet Pepsi Zero taste with a short finish. All complexity is washed out. It’s delicious but a waste to drink mixed."

"Hmmmm. Not anywhere near as good as I was hoping or expecting. Soft and sweet. Vanilla, sherry and barrel influence on the nose. Mouth is sweet toffee and spice but just feels over the top. Finish is similar to the mouth with spice and sweet notes and little complexity. Understand why non rum drinkers would enjoy but a long way from an exceptional rum"
