BACARDÍ is the oldest and largest family-run rum company in the world. It all started in 1862 when Don Facundo Bacardi Masso bought a small distillery in Santiago de Cuba. From there, he revolutionized the rum-making process by developing the smooth, light-bodied spirit the world now knows as BACARDÍ rum. Over 160 years later, BACARDÍ Rum is the most awarded rum in history. It's the rum you reach for when celebrating moments that matter, one drink at a time.
