Celebrating it’s 1 year anniversary this month, Bacardi Oakheart is a spiced rum that has been specially aged in charred American white oak barrels to achieve it’s bold oak flavor that is said to be smooth yet robust. Oakheart is produced from select Bacardi amber rums which go through a mellowing process in charred oak barrels. Before being filtered through a proprietary process the distillers add spices such as maple, cinnamon, nutmeg, honey and vanilla to the mix. The result is said to be a bold rum with an amber hue, a hint of smokiness and a unique velvet-like smoothness. Last week in celebration of Oakheart’s 1 year anniversary we called-in a favor to our friends over at the Bacardi Distillery and setup a tasting. We sniffed, sipped and mixed until the bottle was dry, and today we’re pleased to share the results of our tasting session with you!
