About BACARDI Rum

No mystery that the 'spirit' behind the B-LIVE series is BACARDI. In 1862 BACARDI revolutionized the spirits industry when founder Don Facundo Bacardi began producing his remarkable light-bodied, smooth rum -- BACARDI, the world's favorite premium rum brand. Today, BACARDI rum is produced in Puerto Rico, following the production legacy set forth by Don Facundo -- crafted in a five step distillation process, aged in American white oak barrels, and filtered five times for unparalleled quality and smoothness.
