Bacardi Anejo Cuatro 4 Year Rum (750Ml)

Bacardí Añejo Cuatro is a golden rum from Puerto Rico with real age behind it. Cuatro means four in Spanish. Every rum in the blend has spent at least four years in oak under the Caribbean sun. Some parts of the blend are older still. The warm climate speeds up the work of the barrels. That gives you more depth than you might expect at this price.

Lift the glass and you get vanilla and cinnamon first. On the palate, dark honey and clove come through. Toasted oak adds a gentle dry edge that keeps the sweetness in check. The finish is smooth, with toffee and oak lingering on. At 40% ABV, it feels soft rather than fiery.

You can sip it neat or over one large ice cube. It also shines in simple mixed drinks. Bacardí suggests the Cuatro Highball, a tall serve with ice and a lime wedge. The Cuatro Cuba Libre and Cuatro Smash are easy favourites too. For more bottled ideas, browse our premium cocktails.

Pair it with grilled meats, a plate of aged cheese or a dark chocolate dessert. The honey and clove love smoky, caramelised flavours. Pick this rum if you want a smooth, everyday aged rum that still has character. It is a great next step if you usually drink white rum.
