Bacardi Facundo Exquisito
Most praise its silky sweetness, vanilla–caramel profile and easy sipping. Critics find it too weak, overly sweet and woody for the price. Consensus: tasty, smooth, but not an exceptional value.
Those who enjoy smooth, sweet, low-ABV sipping rums with vanilla, caramel and sherry tones, especially whisky or liqueur drinkers wanting an easy, wood-driven after-dinner pour.

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.
Flavors of cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, bananas, toffee and raisins.
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.
A sample brought on vacation to sunny Turkey. In the nose it has a sweetness, with spicy hints. In the notes it is equally sweet, with tastes of vanilla, caramel, cinnamon and dried fruit. I would like to have a bit more ABV %
