Bacardi said that it had crafted and aged the Oakheart Genuine Spiced Rum for a minimum of one year.
Bacardi in North America rums brand director Nadine Iacocca said: “Oakheart has emerged as a strong contender in the spiced rum category with its own strong identity.
“Created as a tribute to the closest of friends, ‘Heart’ pays homage to the bond between them, while ‘Oak’ is a salute to the strength of this bond.
“The positioning and new packaging is reflective of this spirit and will be brought to life through a US advertising campaign running until December and experiential consumer activations beginning in October and running through March.”
