Bacardi Spiced 700ml
★★★★ 4.0 (2 reviews)You want something easy to pour but with a bit of swagger? This is it. Bacardi Oakheart is rum that's been hanging out in charred oak, so it comes out soft and sweet with butterscotch, vanilla and a faint curl of woodsmoke. Splash it over ice, top with cola, and you've got the drink that practically built itself for a slow Friday or a long night around the nyama choma. No fuss, all flavour.
First whiff is creamy and inviting: buttery vanilla, toffee, a bit of fudge, with toasted oak and dried dark fruit sitting behind it. Take a sip and it's smooth and sweet, think custard, maple and honey, with cinnamon and nutmeg keeping it from going syrupy. The char gives it a gentle smokiness, and it signs off with a little tickle of pepper. Approachable and rounded, the kind of sweet that makes it a breeze to mix.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Bacardi is the family rum house Facundo Bacardi started back in 1862, and these days the big Puerto Rico distillery is the engine room. Oakheart is their spiced spirit: rum distilled, then matured in heavily charred American oak before they layer in spices like vanilla, cinnamon, honey and maple and charcoal-filter it smooth. The name's a nod to that toasted oak heart it's built around.
