BACOO Rum 8-Year is a superb and seamless aged rum from the heart of the Dominican Republic, inspired by the mischievous mythological "Bacoo" spirits of Caribbean legend. This exceptional rum embodies a true "farm to glass" philosophy, crafted entirely from estate-grown, fresh sugar cane juice—a mark of quality that distinguishes it from rums made from molasses.
The production process is meticulous, beginning with distillation in a combination of both copper and stainless steel stills to capture a wide array of desirable, nuanced flavors. This expressive spirit is then laid to rest to mature for a full eight years in ex-bourbon barrels, a patient aging process that allows it to develop ample barrel character, profound depth, and a remarkably smooth profile.
BACOO 8-Year pours an enticing copper color, offering a mature and toasty bouquet with intriguing notes of banana chip, dried orange, hard candy, and a unique floral hint of geraniol. The palate is lively and complex, delivering a dryish full body that leads to a peppery and intricate finish, revealing flavors of caramelized starfruit, roasted nut, toasty cedar, and raisin toast. While possessing enough character and sophistication for sipping neat, its versatility also provides a rich and flavorful foundation for premium cocktails.
