The Mischievous Spirit, Aged Three Years
Bacoo takes its name from a mischievous Caribbean myth-spirit — fed milk and bananas, it grants wishes — and the rum lives up to the playfulness: cane-juice vibrancy with real oak age underneath, filtered to white but drinking like an aged rum. Three years in ex-bourbon casks gives it structure that unaged white rums lack, while the charcoal filtration keeps it clean and mixable. It is the white rum for people who think they only like aged rum. Explore the white rum collection or the full rum collection — and Bacoo — at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Fresh cane, vanilla, and light oak on the nose. The palate is smooth and lightly sweet — cane juice, toasted coconut, white pepper — with a clean, soft finish. More depth than a typical white rum.
How to Enjoy
In a daiquiri — the oak age adds dimension most white rums can't. Also excellent in a mojito or sipped lightly chilled.
