Bacardi Carta Fuego Red Spiced Rum (700ml)

Bacardi is targeting the expanding 'shot market' with this new edition launched in April 2015. Just arrived in Australia, it was matured in oak for one year before being blended, charcoal filtered and mixed with various herbs and spices. The producers recommend adding a dash of pepper sauce or serving with cola.

Tasting note: Named for the Spanish word for "fire". Confected aromas, redolent of caramel nib milk chocolate. Syrupy, broad, fat and relatively short with the palate repeating the aroma. Virtually zero spices detectable, with the exception of vanilla and a meek pepper / baklava / cinnamon surge at the finish. Liqueur-like and one dimensional. 40% Alc./Vol.
