Bacoo 8 Year Dominican Aged Rum: The Enchanting Elixir of Extended Maturity

Delve deeper into the captivating world of Dominican rum with Bacoo 8 Year Dominican Aged Rum, an exquisite expression that embodies the legend of the playful Bacoo spirit. Building upon the beloved foundation of its younger sibling, this 8-year-old rum offers enhanced complexity, deeper flavors, and an even smoother finish, making it a true testament to the art of aging.

Like all Bacoo rums, the 8 Year expression adheres to a meticulous "farm-to-glass" philosophy, ensuring unparalleled quality and authenticity. It originates from estate-grown sugarcane on the sun-drenched plantations of the Dominican Republic. Unlike many rums made from molasses, Bacoo is crafted exclusively from 100% fresh sugarcane juice, harvested with environmental consciousness. This juice undergoes fermentation with natural yeasts before being distilled in unique copper stills at the renowned Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos (AFD) distillery. The spirit then embarks on an impressive maturation journey, resting for a full 8 years in once-used American white oak ex-bourbon barrels. This extended aging period in the warm, humid Caribbean climate allows the rum to develop a richer mahogany hue and a more profound array of sophisticated flavors. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 Proof), Bacoo 8 Year is produced with no additives, ensuring a pure, natural, and highly refined Dominican rum experience.

• Estate Grown & Produced: From "farm-to-glass" entirely within the Dominican Republic, ensuring exceptional quality control.

Flavors of deep caramel, dark chocolate, and roasted coffee beans are prominent, beautifully balanced by sweet vanilla and a gentle spice.
