Global rum brand Bacardí has unveiled a new bold and citrus forward expression in the third installment of the brand’s limited-edition aged rum series.
The new Bacardí Reserva Ocho Sevillian Orange Cask release, follows the success of the brand’s two previous launches, Sherry Cask and Rye Cask Finish.
Aged at least eight years in American oak barrel under the Caribbean sun, the expression is given an additional 3-6 months in Vino de Naranja casks from Seville, Spain. The result is a rum bursting with notes of orange peel, dried stone fruits that has a smoky wood aroma finish.
“The third installment in our popular Cask Series, Sevillian Orange continues our brand legacy of producing premium rums that match consumer tastes. This exceptional expression harmoniously blends our finest aged rums with the essence of Vino de Naranja from Spain, delivering a delightful burst of flavor,” said Lisa Pfenning, Vice President, BACARDÍ for North America.
“Inspired by tradition, yet infused with innovation, the Sevillian Orange Cask Finish is destined to captivate the palates of both rum connoisseurs and dark spirit aficionados alike. As the world’s most awarded rum, we’re excited to add a new and deeply flavorful expression to our vast premium portfolio.”
Bottled at 45% ABV, the expression boasts a dark golden color with a slight orange hue, resulting in a smooth taste that works perfectly for sipping or in elevated cocktails.
Created to be the perfect pairing for an Old Fashioned, Bacardí Reserva Ocho Sevillian Orange Cask Finish serves as a great alternative to traditional sipping spirits.
As one of the most classic cocktails in history, and one that has seen a 24% jump in popularity over the last few years, the Old Fashioned is as popular as ever, but with Bacardí Reserva Ocho Sevillian Orange Cask Finish, the cocktail gets a refreshed taste thanks to the liquid’s meticulously balanced citrus and smoky notes.
