Description

Bacardi Gold and Bacardi Superior are aged in American white oak barrels for identity and flavor profile. All the ex-bourbon barrels were steamed clean for 24 hours before it is used to mature the rum. Bacardi Gold has rich, soothing flavors of butter, caramel, vanilla, and toasted almond. It has sweet banana notes, a warm zest of orange peel, and an oak finish. In addition, it has a rich and toasted palate and a dry and slightly sweet finish. The two spirits undergo filtration and maturation in ex-bourbon barrels. In fact, all expressions of Bacardi undergo maturation in ex-bourbon barrels. In addition, they share the same distillery and owner. After the distillation process, the Bacardi Gold is filtered in a unique blend of charcoal for a mellow character. Bacardi Superior undergoes a double filtration process – one before aging and the second after. The charcoal filtration process works like a magnet and helps achieve a lighter and cleaner rum. Aging Process

It’s no secret that “serious” rum geeks have a tendency to look straight past the portfolio of Bacardi when it comes to seeking out new tasting experiences. Nor is it surprising—a massive international company (the largest privately held, American-owned spirits company, actually) known for its unaged, inoffensive flagship white rum isn’t the kind of entity that sparks crazy enthusiasm in a community full of devotees for funky, high-ester Jamaican rums or crazy flavorful, earthy rhum agricoles. In contrast, the easygoing, column distilled Spanish-style rums of Bacardi can look a little plain, which can lead to rum geeks never getting around to trying them at all. Bacardi Superior and Gold have different production processes, maturation, category, flavor profiles, popularity, and many more. However, while they have a fair share of differences, they also have similarities, like their base ingredients and barrels used to mature the rum. How They Differ In general, rums are cheaper compared to other distilled spirits, but when it comes to Bacardi, Bacardi Gold is more expensive than Bacardi Superior. Bacardi Superior is cheaper to make and is less expensive than more mature rums.
