The composition of the finest distillates and up to six years of storage in white oak barrels result in the strong, finely aromatic taste of Bacardi Black. Tasting notes: Colour: Light amber. Nose: Floral, tropical fruit, prunes. Taste: Mild, smooth, notes of apricot, vanilla, prune. Finish: Long lasting. In cocktails, long drinks and exotic drinks, the rich character is particularly shown to advantage. True connoisseurs also simply enjoy it pure.
