Bacardi Gran Reserva Diez 10 has an odd gold appearance, because it has little sparkles, not unlike glitter, in the bottle and glass, when held under strong light. The alcohol legs are similar to fancy plantation gingerbread woodwork. The aroma is of intense, light brown sugar, some oak, vanilla, and nectar. The flavor is of those elements, as well, with a noticeable alcohol presence, on the backside of the sip. Mouthfeel is medium to heavy, with a syrupy note, beginning to develop. The finish is moderate to long. This should appeal to those with a sweet tooth. RJT
