Paraiso means paradise in Spanish, and with rum matured up to 32 years, the name is not overpromising.
Expert description
Facundo Paraiso XA is a Rum composed of distillates matured between 17 and 32 years in oak casks and bottled at 40%.
The bottle is the ultimate expression in Bacardi's Facundo collection, a tribute to founder Facundo Bacardí, where the blending of lighter and heavier rum styles, the house's hallmark across generations, reaches its most refined level. Every bottle is filled into a hand-numbered crystal decanter, and the result is a rum with an elegance and mouthfeel rarely found outside the most exclusive spirit categories.
