The story behind it

The maker

Founded in Santiago de Cuba in 1862 by Don Facundo Bacardí Massó, Bacardi revolutionized the spirits industry by creating the world's first smooth, light-bodied clear rum. For generations, this family-owned company has grown into one of the largest privately held spirits producers in the world.

How it is made

This legendary overproof rum was crafted at the brand's main distillery & production estate in Cataño, Puerto Rico. It was designed with a built-in metal flame arrestor in the neck to safely control its highly flammable 151-proof liquid.
