Bacardi Facundo Paraiso

Surprising for a Bacardi: this 23-year column-still rum drinks dry and cognac-leaning, not the sweet bomb you might expect. Dark chocolate, charred oak, cocoa and biscuits, with raisins and dried apricot on a medium, tannic finish. Most tasters find it genuinely complex, though a couple felt there was "like nothing" there and wished it hit harder than 40%.

15.12.2025 Palate cleanup after day 15 of my Christmas Calendar. Still find this a pretty good rum. --------- Considering the price, this rum should be a lot better and a poor choice in quality to price when looking at the Facundo lineup. The nose is light and fruity with vanilla and caramel and a hint of cognac. The palate is complex and dry, yet velvety with fruit and spices. In the back i get chocolate, cookies and cognac. On too of that a good shot of oak. The finish is medium long with smoky oak and raisins and a hint of marzipan.

Wow, finally a decent Bacardi. It's still relatively sweet, but no problem. Otherwise, we have dark chocolate, cocoa, caramel, and vanilla here. A few cookies are also noticeable.

8,1:On the nose, the first impression we get is slightly restrained with dried fruits, roasted wood notes with caramel, cocoa, nuts, spices like nutmeg, pure oak, Cognac bias and slightly metallic patina. On aeration, citrus fruits arise, tannins and stronger roastedness with leather, smokiness, candied molasses, spicy vanilla and a hint of honey. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is, comparing to the nose, the opposite, velvety, delicious with variety of charred oak notes with cookie, biscuits, slightly smoky, sweet, syrupy, fruity with dried apricots, raisins, melon, yellow fruits, slightly metallic, dry from Cognac finish.With oxidation, vanilla is rounding dryness, as do marzipan and dark chocolate. 8,4:The finish is medium long, dry and tannic, with Cognac notes like grapes, raisins, dried apricots, the wood is roasted with nuts, dark chocolate, marzipan, confectionery, leather and slightly smoky, spicy with vanilla..

Bacardi 

Avg Rating 6.0/10 over 120 Rums

Bacardi is the world's largest privately held spirits company and the inventor of the light Cuban rum style, founded in 1862 in Santiago de Cuba but Cuba-less since the 1960 expropriation: today the rum is distilled mainly in Puerto Rico. The RumX community draws a sharp line between the Carta Blanca mixing base and the aged lines up to the Facundo range.
