Bacardi Gold Rum
The gold colour comes from toasted oak, not from a long age statement.
Bacardi Gold lists dry vanilla, ginger root, and toasted almond. The maestros use a charcoal blend they do not publish. The same site says rum is molasses, yeast, and water, then fermented, distilled, aged, filtered, and blended.
This is the amber mixer. Superior is the clear one. Reserva Ocho is the 8 year bottle, and it is a different product.

Our Canadian score
Imported
Gold is not made in Canada. Bacardi gives it toasted oak and an unpublished charcoal step. The private family company points its large rum plant at Puerto Rico.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bacardi Gold Rum made in Canada?
No. Bacardi Gold Rum is imported. The page credits toasted oak and a charcoal step the maestros will not publish. The large plant the brand names is in Puerto Rico.
What is it made from?
The Bacardi site limits rum to molasses, yeast, and water, then fermenting, distilling, aging, filtering, and blending. Gold adds the toasted-oak story on top of that.
How is it different from Superior?
Gold stays amber. Superior is the clear bottle. Bacardi Gold Rum is not a stained version of that white rum. They are listed as separate products.
Is this the 8 year old?
No. Bacardi Gold Rum carries no 8-year claim. Reserva Ocho is the bottle marked 8 years. Gold is the everyday amber mixer.
Who owns the brand?
Bacardi Limited, a private family company, owns Gold. Bermuda is the home office the company presents. Puerto Rico is the rum plant. Canada is a place it is sold.
