BACARDI RUM Bacardi was founded by Facundo Bacardi Masso, whose family emigrated from Spain to Cuba when he was a teenager. Rum, at that time, was often cheaply made and not very appetizing, so Masso began tinkering with the recipe and production techniques. He used charcoal to filter out impurities and oak barrels to mellow the flavor. The result was the world's first clear or "white" rum. He opened a small distillery with his brother-in-law and began massproducing the product in 1862. Bacardi's bat logo comes from the year they opened, when Masso found a number of fruit bats fluttering in the distillery rafters. He decided that this was a sign of good luck and made the black bat the symbol of his new company. TRUE CRAFT inspired by TRADITION PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY.
