Bacardi Añejo Cuatro

Tasting Notes

The result is effortlessly smooth, honeyed and spicy with some to***co on the finish. Very nice for sipping with ice but even better as a cocktail ingredient.

Bacardi is best known for its white rum, but it does do some excellent aged products. This 4 year old is a brand new addition to the line-up and sits between the Carta Oro rum, which is primarily for mixing, and the 8 Year Old, which is more of a sipper. The result is effortlessly smooth, honeyed and spicy.

Aroma: Soft lemon and pink lady apple notes sit alongside a heavier creaminess. Marzipan and honey brioche follow.

Taste: Oily. Sweet, honeyed fruits and a rush of cream, then baked apple tart with extra apple skins and flecks of spice.

Finish: Dry and short, with notes of hazelnuts, brioche and honeysuckle.

The folks at Glenfiddich clearly enjoy exploring new cask types for their whisky. Whether it's peaty whisky in rum casks, or making good use of icewine casks, the distillery certainly has some experimental flair. And if experimental flair is what you're after, Glenfiddich Grand Cru 23 Year Old is the perfect thing. This single malt initially ages in American and European oak casks, before being moved over to rare French cuvée oak casks. The influence these casks has had on the whisky is fantastic, lifting the palate with notes of baked goods and fresh fruit.
