Bacardi 1873 Ron Solera is a golden rum aged up to three years in charred oak barrels. As the name suggests, the Solera system is used to produce this rum, which mixes new batches of rum with older batches each year.
"1873" represents the year of the Virginius Affair, the name of a captured American ship that resulted in a remarkable international diplomacy for peace between the US and Spain during the Ten Years' War.

How can this cost so much? First, it is a Solera system rum. This is a process by which they can say it has much older better aged rum in the bottle because they combine different aged rums. This aged rum can be as little as 1% of the bottle. Second it is remarkably thin and lifeless. It tastes very young. There is no care involved in producing this rum. No complexity and absolutely zero balance. Your taste buds get hammered by the alcohol punch the minute it hits your lips. It gets worse the rest of the way. It packs a punch but offers no pleasure. The finish is hot and short. This is terrible!
