The Pinnacle of the Facundo Collection
Named for the man who founded Bacardi, Facundo Paraiso ("paradise") is the oldest and rarest blend in the FACUNDO Rum Collection — hand-selected spirits from the Bacardi family's private reserves, matured for up to 23 years in white oak, then brought together and rested in French XO casks for a final polish. It is a pure sipping rum: nothing added, nothing rushed, built for a glass held neat.

Tasting Notes
Deep amber in the glass. The nose is layered with vanilla, caramel and toasted oak over dried fruits — raisins, dates, figs, prunes — with milk and dark chocolate, hazelnut, marzipan, warm nutmeg, cinnamon and clove, and a subtle leather-and-tobacco edge with a delicate floral lift. The finish is long and elegant, lingering on smoky oak, marzipan and gentle sweetness.
How to Enjoy
Pour it neat or over a single large cube — a rum of this age deserves nothing but your full attention. This is not a mixing bottle; treat it like a fine cognac and take your time.
