Bacardi Reserva Ocho Sevillian Orange Cask Finish<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Smells of rum, vanilla, and orange peel. The taste is sweet and citrusy with flavors of toffee, caramel, vanilla, and orange peel. The finish is long and has a surprisingly high amount of burn, finishing into notes of oak, orange peel, burnt caramel, cinnamon, and vanilla. Overall, it’s nowhere near as smooth as the regular Ocho<\/a> or the Sherry Cask<\/a> version, and the orange notes are very one dimensional, just adding a touch of bitter orange peel to all aspects of the rum. Not necessarily bad, and I’m sure it will mix well, but not something I would sip on by itself.<\/p>\n

In honor of the orange notes, I first tried a rum margarita and the result is indeed orange forward and quite smooth, with a subtle oak and citrus complexity in the finish.<\/p>\n

A daquiri is smooth and complex with rum and lime up front and notes of orange and oak in the finish. Similar but more subtle than the margarita.<\/p>\n

A rum Manhattan is complex, oaky, bitter, and smooth with notes of cherry and currants up front transitioning into oak and orange peel and bitters in the finish.<\/p>\n

A rum Old Fashioned is spiced rum and cherries up front; oak, bitters, and a subtle hints of orange in the finish. Overall balanced and complex but with a bit of bite from the alcohol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5301,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","embm_styles":[245],"embm_groups":[],"embm_menus":[],"class_list":["post-5299","embm_beer","type-embm_beer","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","embm_style-rum"],"embm_profile":{"malts":"Molasses","hops":"A blend of barrel-aged reserve rums aged for a minimum of 8 years in bourbon barrels then finished for an unknown amount of time in Vino de Naranja casks","additions":"","yeast":"Bacardi family proprietary yeast strain","abv":45,"ibu":null},"embm_extras":{"availability":"","notes":"","beer_number":null},"embm_untappd":{"id":null},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/5299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/embm_beer"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5299"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/5299\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5313,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_beers\/5299\/revisions\/5313"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"embm_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_styles?post=5299"},{"taxonomy":"embm_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_groups?post=5299"},{"taxonomy":"embm_menu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.davedrinksbeer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/embm_menus?post=5299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
