Bacardí Carta Negra

Description

Bacardí Carta Negra is an aged dark rum at 40%. The Bacardi name goes back to 1862 in Cuba; today the rum is produced in Puerto Rico. The distillates are blended after several years in heavily charred American white oak and filtered through a mix of charcoals. Hence the amber-honey colour with reddish lights and a profile of tropical fruit, vanilla, caramel and oak smoke. Sip it neat from a heavy-bottomed rocks glass; a couple of ice cubes soften the strength and open the caramel and spice. In cocktails it works in a Cuba Libre with cola and lime and in a Dark 'n' Stormy with ginger ale. At the table it pairs with bitter chocolate, caramel and nut desserts, black coffee and a cigar.
