Bacardí Superior is a white rum at 40% ABV, and the method behind it is more interesting than its clear colour suggests: the rum is aged in oak first and then charcoal-filtered to remove the colour. That approach dates back to the founding of Bacardí in 1862 and is the reason the rum drinks smoothly despite being clear.
The result is a light-bodied rum with a faint vanilla note, a touch of citrus and a dry, clean finish. It is deliberately restrained — a base spirit rather than a statement — which is why it is the most common white rum in cocktail bars.
That is its purpose. A mojito needs a light rum that lets lime and mint lead; a daiquiri needs one that will not fight the lime and sugar; rum and cola needs one that mixes without turning sweet. Bacardí Superior does all three without complaint, and it batches well for a party.
If you keep one rum for making drinks, this is the standard answer. 247BOOZE delivers Bacardí Superior across our active service areas 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
