Facundo Neo Silver Bahamas White Rum 40%

White rum rarely gets to boast an age statement. Facundo Neo breaks the pattern with up to eight years of maturation hidden behind a perfectly clear colour.

Expert description

Facundo Neo Silver is a White Rum from the Bahamas, matured up to 8 years in American oak casks and bottled at 40%.

The rum is part of the Facundo collection, Bacardi's luxurious tribute to founder Facundo Bacardí, where each expression is hand-blended and filled into hand-numbered crystal decanters. Neo Silver matures for up to eight years in the Bahamas, before being shipped to Tultitlán in Mexico to be blended and bottled. The colour is subsequently removed by activated charcoal filtration, without stripping away the nuances the maturation has added, resulting in a white rum with unusual depth and complexity.
