Experience the luxurious and rich taste of Facundo Eximo. It’s a dark rum that’s a uniquely special part of the Facundo Rum Collection, the first-ever collection of aged rums selected from the BACARDÍ family’s private reserves. Eximo is a sipping rum that's full of flavour and character. From the way it’s crafted, blended and aged right through to the beautiful bottle that contains it, Eximo is an expression of artistry and commitment to creation. It makes an ideal rum gift. There are four rums in the Facundo Collection, together, they embody more than 150 years of skilful and gifted rum-making. Named after the founder of BACARDÍ, Don Facundo’s signature is emblazoned on the glass of every bottle. Each one of them is extraordinary, bringing on new levels of depth and taste. They are all handcrafted with passion, elevating rum into a form of art. For those who appreciate the finest things, the rums of the Facundo Collection make an excellent rum gift set. Each of the four rums comes in a gift box, with a unique bottle that is a work of art unto itself. A bottle of Facundo Eximo makes a strong statement, both in look and taste, and is something that deserves to be savoured. Facundo Eximo is an artisanal product, and a tribute to tradition. The name Eximo – Latin “to free” – refers to Facundo Eximo being free from preconceived notions. That also includes the unique way it’s crafted: Eximo is the only rum in the collection that is blended before ageing. The creation of Eximo begins with selections drawn from the BACARDÍ Family Library of Rums, comprised of more than 300 rums from Puerto Rico and the Bahamas. The chosen rums are then audaciously blended by the Maestros de Ron BACARDÍ. Following that, every drop of Facundo Eximo is aged and rested in white oak barrels for a minimum of 10 years. The barrels are left untouched during the ageing process, and sit in one place, so that Mother Nature, the wood, the warm tropical sun and the sea air can work in harmony to create a rum that is truly ethereal. The Eximo experience begins with the beautifully clear, deep coppery amber color. This is accentuated by the fine styling of the bottle. On the nose, the sweet scent of plump raisins, vanilla and ripe banana are softened by notes of mocha coffee and dark chocolate, with hints of nutmeg, cinnamon and black pepper adding some spice. The taste begins with a buttery richness. There are notes of toasty raisin fruit cake, dry oak tannins, dark chocolate, tobacco, nougat and vanilla. The finish continues with those flavours, before concluding with notes of oak and bitter chocolate. As a luxury sipping rum, Eximo is best enjoyed neat, with a splash of water or over ice. It also adds depth to cocktails and alcohol drinks – try an Eximo Old Fashioned, with honey syrup and bitters, or an Eximo Side Car.
