Barcardi Sevillian Orange Cask Finish 8 Year Reserva Ocho Rum

Bacardi Reserva Ocho Rum Sevillian Orange Cask Finish 8 Year is a limited-edition expression that builds upon the acclaimed Bacardi Reserva Ocho. Here's what makes it special:

Description:

• It starts with Bacardi Reserva Ocho Rum, which is aged for a minimum of 8 years in American oak barrels under the Caribbean sun.
• It then receives a special finish in Vino de Naranja (Orange Wine) casks from Seville, Spain. These casks have been infused with the finest bitter orange peels from Seville.
• This finishing process imparts a unique citrusy character to the aged rum.
• It's typically bottled at a slightly higher proof of 45% ABV (90 proof) compared to the standard Reserva Ocho.
• It is part of Bacardi's Cask Finish Series, with new limited editions released annually.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Expect a refreshing aroma with prominent notes of orange peel, dried stone fruits, and a hint of smoky wood. Some also describe brown sugar, orange marmalade, dried plantain, clove, and anise.
• Palate: The taste offers a complex blend of citrus, particularly Seville orange, with a pleasant bitter character. You'll also find notes of molasses, cinnamon, dried currant, and toffee caramel.
• Finish: The finish is described as expansive and well-rounded, with the Vino de Naranja cask influence lingering alongside notes of orange and brown sugar fading into long-lasting oak spice and cardamom.

How to Enjoy: Bacardi Reserva Ocho Sevillian Orange Cask Finish is recommended for sipping neat or as a base for classic cocktails that are enhanced by its citrus notes:

• Neat: Enjoy it slowly to appreciate the nuanced flavors.
• Sevillian Orange Old Fashioned: A twist on the classic using this rum.
• Ocho Old Fashioned: The orange notes add a unique layer to this cocktail.
• Old Cuban: The aged rum and citrus notes work well in this sparkling cocktail.

Awards and Recognition:

• It received a Platinum Award in the 2024 Critics Challenge Wine Competition in the Spirits category for non-vintage releases.
• The Bacardi Reserva Ocho line, in general, is highly awarded, contributing to the prestige of this special finish.

Overall Impression: Bacardi Reserva Ocho Sevillian Orange Cask Finish is a compelling and flavorful rum that offers a unique twist on the classic Reserva Ocho. The Seville orange cask finish adds a noticeable but well-integrated citrus character that complements the aged rum's inherent notes of spice and sweetness. It's a limited edition that is worth seeking out for those who enjoy complex rums with a distinctive citrus edge.
