Its inviting aromatic qualities are enriched with notes of sweet Caribbean honey and fragrant fruits, leading to a long, pleasing finish with a smooth oak background. The Bacardi MMXII Vintage is 43% ABV / 86º Proof, and each of 200 hand-blown 500ml crystal decanter will ship in a detailed leather case for $2,000.

The hand-blown crystal decanter represents the coconut palm planted at the first Bacardi distillery entrance in Santiago de Cuba 150 years ago. Known as ‘El Coco,’ this coconut palm tree symbolizes the Bacardí family’s heritage and Cuban roots. This decanter embodies a new seed for the spirit of the next 150 years.
