Looking For A New Bottle of Rum?

First released to the public in 2003 at the Bacardi Visitors Center in Puerto Rico, Bacardi Reserva Limitada slowly became available in some Caribbean countries before being introduced in limited quantities in the United States in 2010. This "Founder's Reserve" was created as the personal blend for the Bacardi family and contains a blend of aged rums up to 12 years old. Note: A packaging update was given to this bottling in spring 2018.

This Nicaraguan rum is aged for an unspecified amount of time (the number "5" is there for show, but previously was the age statement). It is bottled at 80 proof.

Blackwell Rum is the creation of Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records and a pioneer in the music industry. Blackwell helped bring the likes of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh to the international stage and has joined forces with Joy Spence (master blender for Appleton Estate) to revive an old family recipe. Incidentally, his mother's family previously owned Appleton Estate and J. Wray & Nephew. Pot and column distilled rums are aged in American oak barrels for 18-24 months.

Havana Club Añejo Blanco is aged for 1 year in oak before being blended and filtered. It is then aged a further 2 months in oak for mellowing. This Puerto Rican distilled rum made by Bacardí is based on a recipe from the Arechabala family who created it in Cuba in 1934. The family produced it up until 1960 when they fled Cuba after Fidel Castro nationalized the distilleries there. First available in select Florida markets in June 2016, the rum became available soon after in other markets.

The Centuria is a solera-type blend of rums from the "Reserva de la Familia" aged up to 30 years in American whiskey barrels. Varela Hermanos, the distillery in Panama that produces this and other rum products, grows its own cane and controls the entire subsequent process from fermentation and distillation to ageing and assembly.
