The Apollo Neuro app can control the wearable to switch between modes to keep you focused at work, help you recover after a workout, and drift off to sleep at night. Developed by neuroscientists and physicians, the technology is proven to improve heart rate variability while rebalancing your nervous system to help the mind transition from "fight or flight" to "rest and digest." Over time, your body learns to recover from stress more quickly, so you can relax, sleep better, and find deep, meaningful focus. It can be worn on the wrist or ankle or attached to your clothing and acts as a hug for your nervous system, engaging with your sense of touch by sending silent, soothing vibrations. The wellness accessory utilizes soothing touch therapy to help reduce stress and enhance relaxation, sleep, focus, and recovery. As with NEO, Eximo helps solidify the emerging premium rum categories with an entry well worth every penny of its $60 price.Many wearables track your health, but Apollo is designed to actually improve it. Eximo takes everything that Bacardi has accomplished with their 8 year rum and cranks it up to 11 (excuse the pun) in one of the most enchanting and alluring expressions of this style of rum we’ve had. The finish for the Facundo Eximo Rum is fantastic, slightly dry and incredibly long with bitter dark chocolate, vanilla, raisin, oak, and tobacco, flavors that continue to dance on the palate long after Eximo has come and gone. The midpalate is a sheer love letter to oak and presents a strong oak flavor in one of the most pleasant and satisfying ways we’ve seen. The midpalate of Eximo is all about oak, with the sweet vanilla and caramel notes from the entry combining with tobacco and slightly bitter dried raisin, interweaving with the oak notes with tight and impeccable integration. The journey isn’t nearly as dramatic with Eximo, but the shift is quite pleasant. Bacardi Facundo Eximo 10 Year Old Rum 70cl Part of Bacardis premium Facundo collection, this is named after founder Don Facundo Bacardi Masso and Eximo meaning free. As with NEO, Eximo goes on a journey from sweet and round towards dry. What’s interesting about Eximo is that it presents more oak than spice, with flavors that can be described more as deep oak, dry oak, or smokey oak than oak spice. Although the nose suggests bourbon, the entry proclaims RUM with vanilla, caramel, and toffee right there with the oak. The nose on Eximo also has a wonderful old bourbon-like quality to it, reminiscent of the character we’ve seen in 20 year old bourbons. Named after Facundo Bacard, founder of the iconic Bacard brand, this premium dark rum comes from a secret. The aromas in Eximo’s nose integrate amazingly with the sweeter notes layered in between varying levels of oak. The nose on Eximo is strong oak backed by vanilla, caramel, bananas foster, and bitter dark chocolate. In the mix are a few rums older than 10 years old (and were 1-2 years at the time of original blending), giving Eximo a total age range of 10 – 12 years. Eximo is a 10 year old rum which was blended before it was put into the barrel 10 years ago. It takes a tremendous amount of skill to do this blending BEFORE a rum is aged, and that’s what Bacardi has done with Eximo. That product must state the youngest rum in the mix, but often there are small amounts of older rums to help add dimensionality and depth. Blending after aging gives a blender a great amount of ability to balance and shape the character of a rum. Facundo Eximo Rum (40% ABV / 80 proof, $60) – a lot of aged rums are a result of blending a number of different rums together after aging into a single, unified product. ![]()
