General Information
Bacardi Gran Reserva Diez is a 10-year-old premium rum from Puerto Rico, produced by the legendary Bacardi – one of the largest rum houses in the world. This ‘Diez’ (Spanish for ten) is made from carefully selected rums that have matured for at least ten years in charred oak barrels. After barrel aging, the rum is filtered for clarity and smoothness. With an alcohol content of 40%, this is a smooth sipping rum that also lends itself excellently to luxury cocktails.
Tasting Profile of Bacardi Gran Reserva Diez
The rum has a deep, golden-brown color with a coppery shine. On the nose, you can smell tropical fruit, vanilla, roasted caramel, and woody notes. The taste is round and rich: toffee, ripe banana, apricot, roasted almond, and a hint of spices. The finish is long, velvety soft, and lightly dry with subtle oak influences. The mouthfeel is warm, silky, and complex – typical of a rum with prolonged barrel aging.

Fun Fact
Although Bacardi is often associated with white rum and highballs, Gran Reserva Diez shows that the house also offers craftsmanship at the highest level. The blend is composed of rums that age for ten years under tropical conditions, which accelerates the aging process and deepens the flavor. This rum is a tribute to Bacardi’s premium side – intended for connoisseurs and lovers of accessible luxury.
