Blended Before Aging, Ten Years in Oak
Eximo is the only expression in the FACUNDO Rum Collection blended before aging: Bacardi's Maestros de Ron married the component rums first, then laid the blend down in white oak for ten to twelve years. The result is the richest, most oak-driven sipper of the range — a rum built like a bourbon or cognac, with deep dry oak, toasted spice and polished sweetness. It is the line's answer for drinkers who reach for whiskey but want rum's warmth. Shop the rum collection at Del Mesa Liquor, browse more aged rums, or explore Facundo Rum.
Tasting Notes
Deep amber. Strong oak leads — deep, dry, almost smoky oak — with vanilla, caramel, toffee and butterscotch, bananas foster and dried banana, dried apricot and raisin, bittersweet chocolate and walnut, and a tobacco note that recalls old bourbon. The finish is long and warm, with lingering oak and polished sweetness.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat or with one cube after dinner — this is an after-dinner pour by design. A splash of water opens the oak and chocolate layers if you like it softer.
