Bacardi Gran Reserva Diez Aged 10 Years
Anyone who finds most supermarket Bacardi too thin will notice this one has more going on: toasted American oak, vanilla, caramel and a little dried fruit, with a light peppery kick. Several tasters call it the best Bacardi they've tried, though it stays fluid and gentle rather than deep. Skips the divisive apricot note of the Bacardi 8, and works neat or in a Cuba Libre.

How does Bacardi Gran Reserva Diez Aged 10 Years taste?
Aggregated from 114 community reviews.
Light, woody, the best of the Bacardis Most agree it's the pick of the Bacardi range — woody, lightly sweet, easy to sip. The catch is body: it reads flat and short, more pleasant than memorable.

Review by LukaŽiga
7,8:The nose immediately takes on concentrated American oak, with some bourbon aromas. The white wood is justly toasted, gripping the nose just enough to deliver a intensity of vanilla and coconut. Aeration reveals a slightly lighter rum, with some pale fruity notes. The wood is toasted, slightly smoky, floral notes. 7,5:On the palate, the rum is both savory and light, with molasses in the typical style of Cuban tradition. The American oak barrel delivers all it can of gourmet notes such as vanilla, coconut, pear, banana and sweet caramel. Yet the texture remains fluid and light, the rum lightly tingling the taste buds with spiciness. 7,5:The finish brings us closer to a more strongly toasted oak, with dark chocolate, then going deeper into its molten fiber.All is well balanced and smooth. Simple and enjoyable. Edit:1.7.25
Review by Vincent D
Tasted after a 4-year-old and an 8-year-old from the same house. This one is unquestionably the best, and the only one that comes close to a tasting rum. The woodiness is present throughout the tasting, bringing body to a soft, sweet rum. Surprisingly long, darker finish. Not bad.
Review by heckto🥃
Woody and fruity on the nose. Raisins, tobacco and tropical fruit on the palate. I drank it with friends as a Cuba Libre and I really enjoyed it. However, it also leaves a good impression when enjoyed on its own. One of Bacardi's best, but not a high-flyer either.
Review by MarcT
Okish, very light overall with the exception of wood and some spices. I also get the molasses it's made from (especially after some days of Agricole). Drinkable, nothing special, but very much an improvement of the default offerings from Bacardi.

Je trouve l alcool mal intégré ma plus mauvaise expérience depuis un petit moment.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Today I was talked into tasting some of the better Bacardi versions and I don't regret it because now I tried those as well.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Not bad at all for a Bacardi! On the nose, it reminds me of black olives at first. Quite peculiar. After a while, more fruity and spicy aromas emerge. On the palate, tobacco and some smoke are also noticeable. These also remain in the. Finish, alongside apricot. And olives on the side!
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
One of the first "supermarket" rums from Bacardi I've come across, that is actually a decent sipper, whereas a lot of the others are mainly for mixing. In the nose I got hints of dried fruits and I get notes of fresh fruits and vanilla
Review by Alexander Engelhardt
A nice rum for anyone who does not like it so sweet.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
solid but not an outlier.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose is a little sharp. Woody with hints of creme brulee and tobacco. Peppery. A rounder palate than the nose would suggest. Vanilla and caramel mixed with tonka beans and sweetened coffee towards the back end. The finish is a little short. Very rum and raisin ice cream. A flash of vanilla and raisin but goes as quickly as you notice. Not bad for Bacardi but there is better out there.
Review by Anonymous
Not a bad rum for the price, since I drank it with Dictador 12 and I gave it a 7; I give it a 6.8. It seemed like the nosing was a little unnatural, but maybe that's just my perception.
Review by Leslie Haigh
for the money good value very smooth
Review by rum_sk
Very pleasant, sweet and a bit spicy. Best Bacardi I've yet tried.
Review by fortepian
Nothing special. Just good
Review by Philipp F.
Unspectacular but ok. The smell promises dried fruit, especially raisins and dried peaches with a hint of vanilla and oak barrel. The taste brings it all together, but can't quite keep the promise. Rather flat, nothing stands out clearly, just nuances. The finish is rather short and quite alcoholic. Nothing special for me overall, but nothing really bad either. I mainly use this rum as a mixer.
Review by Solidfunk
Orange and peel. Oak and vanilla. Some bourbon. Dark copper pour.
Review by Steve S.
Overall it's pretty good for what it is. Though, I think the Bacardi Reserva Ocho is a bit better value for the money. I'll have to blind taste them side-by-side to get the full picture on that. But for now, my initial impression is that I'm.glad for the experience, but there are at least a half dozen rums in my collection at this price point that I'd restock over this expression.

Bardzo delikatny, odświeżający rum. Powinien świetnie sprawdzić się w drinkach.
