Facundo Neo Aged Light Rum 750mL

Facundo Neo Aged Light Rum

Aged Light Rum | 40% ABV | 80 Proof | 750mL | Caribbean | Rums Aged 1–8 Years | Activated-Charcoal Filtered

Process & Profile

Facundo Neo Aged Light Rum reimagines white rum by combining the brightness of younger spirits with the rounded character of mature reserves. Created as part of the premium Facundo Rum Collection, Neo is blended from light- to medium-bodied rums matured in oak for periods ranging from one to eight years.

After aging, the blend is filtered through activated charcoal to remove the color imparted by the barrels while preserving much of its developed flavor and smooth texture. The result is a clear to sheer-blonde rum with the freshness expected from light rum alongside notes of fruit, vanilla, almond, and subtle oak.

The name “Neo,” meaning “new,” reflects the expression’s approach to producing a light rum with the depth and balance normally associated with longer-aged spirits.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Delicate fruit, vanilla orchid, toasted almond, ripe banana, and subtle floral notes.

• Palate: Star fruit, dried stone fruit, candied almond, vanilla, and light sugar-cane sweetness with a smooth texture.

• Finish: Crisp, clean, and balanced with lingering almond, vanilla, white pepper, and gentle oak.

What Makes It Special

• Blended from rums aged between one and eight years.

• Activated-charcoal filtered after maturation to create a clear appearance while retaining aged-rum character.

• Part of the premium Facundo Rum Collection, named in honor of Bacardí founder Don Facundo Bacardí Massó.

• Bottled at an approachable 40% ABV (80 proof).

• Combines the freshness of light rum with the smoothness and complexity of mature reserves.

• Versatile enough for sipping neat or elevating classic white-rum cocktails.

How to Enjoy

Facundo Neo Aged Light Rum can be served neat or over a large ice cube to highlight its floral aromas, silky texture, and notes of vanilla, almond, and dried fruit. A narrow-mouthed tasting glass can help concentrate its lighter aromatic characteristics.

Its combination of clarity and barrel-developed flavor also makes it particularly useful in premium cocktails. Try it in a classic Daiquiri, Mojito, Piña Colada, El Presidente, or clarified milk punch. Neo adds more depth than a typical unaged white rum without overpowering citrus, mint, tropical fruit, or other cocktail ingredients.
