Distiller Notes
On the nose, Facundo Eximo 10 Year Old Premium Rum is characterized by notes of toffee, caramel and walnut. Expect an exceedingly smooth taste, with deep notes of vanilla, cocoa and a hint of smoke. A round, full-bodied texture with a long, rich finish.
"Eximo" means "to free" in Latin, referring to how the Facundo Rum Collection frees rum from preconceived notions and transcends the rum category. Facundo Eximo 10 Year Old Premium Rum features a blend of medium-to-full-bodied dark rums aged in fine oak barrels. Facundo Eximo is the only one of the four Facundo rums that is blended before aging – a process which relies on the Master Blender to expertly tailor the flavor and aroma balance before Nature’s contribution through at least ten years of aging. This pre-aging blending process is a living testament to the artistry of the Master Blender, and the knowledge passed down through each Master Blender generations before. Maturation in white oak barrels for more than a decade allows for a premium rum with a smooth and rich finish.

Often referred to as a Gold Rum, an Aged Rum is one that has been aged in barrels, often Ex-Bourbon or White Oak before bottling. As the Rum continues to age, it draws more and more color and flavor from the wood, adding both body and complexity to the finished product. Aged Rums can be sipped neat or added to cocktails. They fall somewhere in between White and Dark Rums in terms of their respective strength of flavor.
