Bacardi Gran Reserva Maestro De Ron Rum (100cl , 40%)
A Travel Retail bottling of Bacardi Gran Reserva Maestro De Ron, a made with rum aged up to three years and slow filtered through coconut shell charcoal. The label calls it a “sipping rum”, and it is indeed flavoursome enough to enjoy neat or over ice – plenty of complex interplay between classic molasses sweetness and intriguing, grassy, savoury notes.
Bacardi Gran Reserva Maestro is a premium white mixing rum intended to elevate classic cocktails. Priced around $85 to $99, it features a double-aging process—first aged for one year, then blended and matured in white oak for another three months before being charcoal filtered for clarity.
The Verdict
While marketed as a super-premium white rum, reviews on platforms like Reddit show mixed sentiment. Experts find it slightly too simple or astringent to be enjoyed neat as a true sipping rum, but it widely serves as a smoother, more flavorful upgrade to standard Bacardi Superior for tropical cocktails like Daiquiris.Â
Tasting Notes & Profile
- Nose: Floral and sweet with distinct aromas of vanilla, pear, and toasted oak, alongside hints of coconut, spearmint, and banana.
- Palate: A sweet entry of sugary vanilla and light honey is followed by mid-palate notes of tropical fruit (banana, coconut), cinnamon, and an undercurrent of oak and charcoal.
- Finish: Medium to long, though some reviewers note a slightly bitter or mineral and alcohol-heavy finish.Â
