In 2003, Bacardi Reserva Limitada was created by the Maestros de Ron Bacardi in honor of Don Facundo Bacardí Massó and the Bacardí family, to celebrate the inauguration of the Bacardi Visitor Centre in Puerto Rico.

luxury aged rum
from Puerto Rico
According to Luis Planas, the Maestro de Ron Bacardi who crafted this masterpiece, the blend is affectionately said to capture "the refinement of a rebellious spirit. It was born accidentally when a few years ago I decided to set aside a few barrels... it was almost as if Don Facundo himself was telling me: 'Luis, keep aside some of those barrels because from there something good will come.' That is what I did and from the resulting liquids I began to blend what has resulted in a fine product that only a house, pioneering in rum, like Bacardi, could develop."
Bacardi Reserva Limitada is a product characterized by its length of aging in lightly charred American white oak barrels. Rum bases as old as 16 years can appear within the blend, though as with all Bacardi Rum brands the youngest rum base is aged for as long it takes to deliver the specific flavor profile that the Maestros de Ron Bacardi are looking for.
With this blend the Maestros de Ron Bacardi have achieved a perfect balance between the rum, wood and fruit notes which are typical in rums that have been aged for a long period of time. It has been specifically blended to ensure that none of the dominant components associated with "old" rums, like tannins, secondary alcohols or fruity esters are perceived to overpower the final taste. Its taste is rich, smooth and mellow with a velvety finish that lingers in the mouth for your enjoyment.
As the name suggests Bacardi Reserva Limitada is truly a "Limited Reserve." Made available exclusively in Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and Aruba.
