Paraíso” means “paradise” in Latin, an apt name perhaps, Facundo® Paraiso XA Premium Rum represents the culmination of the Facundo® Rum Collection. In the making of Facundo® Paraiso, Bacardí®’s Maestros de Ron accessed the Bacardí® family’s most prized rums and artfully hand-selected each for its character. Facundo® Paraiso is comprised of some of our oldest, most coveted rums, that are aged up to 23 years in white oak barrels. After ageing, the rums are blended together and rested in French XO casks — some more than 60 years of age. This artistry results in an impeccably smooth, medium-bodied rum with a distinctive deep amber colour — possibly the finest rum ever sipped.
The entire Facundo® Rum Collection links to the notion of transformation and transcending the rum category, but “Neo”, Latin for “new,” refers to the reinvention of light rum. This irresistibly alluring rum is crafted by blending light-to-medium-bodied rums in oak barrels. The young rums impart brightness and youth, while the older reserves give Facundo® Neo Premium Silver Rum a smoothness and a well-rounded nature never seen before in a light rum. After ageing, the rums that comprise Facundo® Neo Rum are carefully filtered to remove only the colour component contributed by the barrel. The result is a sheer blonde hue and unprecedented smoothness.
