- ABV: 40% (80 proof)
- Size: 750mL

- Blend: Rums aged up to 8 years in American white oak barrels, then charcoal-filtered to strip the color while keeping the aged character — a crystal-clear "blanc vieux"

Bacardi's Blanc Vieux
The Facundo Collection is Bacardi's tribute to the man who started it all — Don Facundo Bacardí Massó, who founded the company in Santiago de Cuba in 1862. Neo takes rums aged up to eight years in American white oak and runs them through charcoal filtration until the color is gone but the age stays: a crystal-clear aged white rum — a blanc vieux — with the depth of an añejo and the versatility of a blanco. Vanilla, coconut and roasted almond lead, with dried fruit, citrus and a whisper of white pepper, smooth and silky to a clean, crisp finish. Discover the rum collection at Del Mesa Liquor, and see the other bottlings from Facundo Rum.
Tasting Notes
Crystal clear in the glass. Aromas of vanilla, coconut and toasted almond. The palate is smooth and silky, medium-bodied — dried fruit, lime and grapefruit citrus, hints of oak, a touch of white pepper — finishing clean and crisp.
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat or on the rocks to appreciate the aged character, or deploy it as a premium base: a Daiquiri or Mojito made with Neo is a different drink entirely. It also works in a top-shelf Piña Colada.
