The Bacardi Gold rum does not carry an age statement... we presume that, like the silver, it is aged 1-2 years in oak and and given a light filtration and bottled (presumably at least some of the color is owed to the wood aging). Formerly known as the "gold rum" it experienced a name change in 2015 changing to "carta oro." Thankfully, for lovers of cave dwelling animals, the bat logo remains intact.

Bacardi Rum was founded in 1862 in Santiago, Cuba by Don Facundo Bacardi Masso. The brand became inextricably linked to Havana, the daiquiri, and the Cuba Libre (rum and coke) at the turn of the century and through the gilded age. The company was strong until the Communist takeover in 1962. The plant was relocated to Puerto Rico where it remains to this day as one of the largest rum producers on earth. Today, it has also acquired a number of spirits over recent years and today have sales in excess of $5 billion. While the original company was founded in Cuba it's totally absent from the Communist country today and headquartered in Bermuda.
