BACARDÍ closed out National Rum Month with the exciting and highly anticipated launch of BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho Rye Cask Finish – the second installment in the BACARDÍ limited-edition cask finish series.

Masterfully bringing the world’s most-awarded rum brand to the forefront of artisanal rum innovation, the new aged rum offering rolls out nationwide this month as part of the brand’s five-year collection – after last year’s inaugural and sell-out release of BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho Sherry Cask Finish. An exclusive Cask Finish Series variant will debut every August through 2025, each year featuring a unique flavor profile from its intricate barrel aging and finishing processes.

Teeming with distinct notes of smokiness interlaced with wood, caramelized brown sugar, and subtle vanilla, BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho Rye Cask Finish has a deep, rich mahogany color filled with aromas of gingerbread, maple sugar, and a hint of spiciness. To complement the brand’s flagship Premium rum, BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho, this year’s variation is aged in American oak barrels for eight to 12 years and finished in rye casks during the final two months. The result is a velvety and luxurious liquid best enjoyed neat or on the rocks. Each limited-edition bottle of BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho Rye Cask Finish features a unique marque number and the year of production, as well as a higher proof of 90, or 45% ABV, which differs from the base spirit at 80 proof.

The new BACARDÍ Reserva Ocho Rye Cask Finish will be available in 750mL bottles with a 45% ABV for a suggested retail price of $32.99, available online and in stores nationwide, later this month.
