Bacard� Gold Rum, also known as Carta Oro, is a mellow, golden rum with a rich and distinctive flavor profile. It's aged in toasted oak barrels, which imparts notes of vanilla, caramel, toasted almonds, and a hint of smoky oak, leading to a smooth finish. The history of Bacard� dates back to 1862 when Don Facundo Bacard� Mass� established the Bacard� distillery in Santiago de Cuba. He pioneered many rum-making techniques, including charcoal filtration and aging in oak barrels, to create a smoother, more refined rum. Bacard� Gold is a versatile spirit that can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like a Cuba Libre or Mojito. It's a great choice for those looking for a flavorful, smooth rum with a rich heritage that is also gluten-free.
