One of the biggest names in rum has launched a unique gift just in time for Christmas. Cocktail lovers can now enjoy their favourite rum cocktails in bite-size truffle form thanks to the Bacardi Reserva Ocho Rum Truffle Gift Set.
The selection is inspired by iconic rum cocktails including Bacardi Reserva Ocho Old Fashioned, Old Cuban and Negroni, all inside a box crafted by Caribbean artist PopCaribe who was influenced by the flavours and heritage of the drink.
Each limited-edition set includes a set of nine luxury chocolates, a recipe booklet, and bottle of Bacardi Reserva Ocho, a golden rum which has been aged for eight years for a deep and complex flavour. The chocolate truffles have been expertly crafted by Paul A. Young Fine Chocolates to capture the taste and spirit of the Caribbean in the form of bite-size chocolate truffles.
Marie Peyto, Bacardi's UK Brand Director, said; "We're proud to be bringing our new Bacardi Reserva Ocho Rum Truffle Gift Set to the UK this festive season through our partnerships with PopCaribe and Paul A. Young Fine Chocolates.
"This limited-edition truffle set is a perfect gift for rum lovers and for those who want to enjoy one of the finest forms of rum from Bacardi; our Reserva Ocho rum which after a minimum of eight years of ageing, releases delightful flavours of stone fruit and spices, perfect for mixing up an Old Fashioned or Rum Negroni. We hope that our Bacardi Reserva Ocho Rum and chocolate truffles takes you on a journey to the Caribbean this Christmas."
