Bacardi Rum

Bacardi Rum is the original, mixable, light-bodied rum aged between one to two years in carefully selected oak barrels. 

After ageing, the rums are blended and passed through a second charcoal filtration to achieve maximum clarity and characteristic smoothness. Bacardi is clear in colour, smooth in taste and dry in flavour with expressions of vanilla and subtle aromas of almonds and tropical fruits.  Its finish is dry and smooth.  Bacardi is recognised the world over as the dynamic and free-spirited party drink.

In 1862, Don Facundo Bacardi Masso purchased his first rum distillery on El Matadero Street, in the town of Santiago de Cuba, changing rum production forever. He began with high quality sugarcane molasses, diluted with water to form a mash. From surrounding sugar cane fields, he took a strain of yeast that he used to ferment the mash for 30 hours. After much experimentation, he started new fermentation cycles using a proprietary yeast strain called "levadura".

Don Facundo was revolutionary in the production of rum as he introduced charcoal-mellowing filtration. Using select tropical woods and coconut shells, he created charcoal that would filter the distillate drop by drop to remove even the slightest impurity, giving his rums an unparalleled smoothness.
