Distiller Notes
Facundo Neo Premium Silver Rum delivers a slightly fruity aroma with subtle hints of almonds and floral notes reminiscent of vanilla orchids. To the taste, fruity notes come to life with hints of star fruit and dried stone fruits, with undertones of candied almonds. Facundo Neo Premium Silver Rum is crisp and vibrant, with a beautifully clean, balanced finish.
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 color component contributed by the barrel. The result is a sheer blonde hue and unprecedented smoothness.
From pirate life on the open sea to Caribbean island paradises, perhaps no other spirit evokes such a romantic history as Rum. Made through fermentation and distillation of molasses or the fresh-pressed juice of sugar cane, Rums range from 20% to over 70% alcohol and come in a variety of tones from clear to dark. Highest quality Rums are generally produced in pot stills and aged in wood, while less expensive Clear or “White” Rums are produced in column stills and bottled without barrel aging. Naturally, Rums form the base of tropical cocktails like Daquiris and Mojitos.
