In 1862, BACARDI revolutionized the spirits industry when founder Don Facundo Bacardi Masso began producing his remarkable light-bodied, smooth rum – BACARDI, the world's favorite rum brand. The unique taste of BACARDI rum inspired cocktail pioneers to invent some of the world's most famous drinks including the Mojito, the Daiquiri, the Cuba Libre, the Pina Colada and the Presidente. BACARDI rum has won more than 500 awards for quality and product profile making it the world's most awarded rum.
