The Bacardi family is the lifeblood of Bacardi Rum. They first began producing Rum in Cuba in 1862. The subsequent years that followed brought a revolution to wild Havana nights during the American Prohibition. Emilio Bacardí Moreau refused to support the Spanish government, fighting staunchly for the independence of Cuba, and was consequently exiled for his beliefs. When he later returned to Cuba, he became the first freely-elected mayor of Santiago de Cuba. Cuba in the 1960s was undergoing a revolution, which eventually led to the Bacardi family’s exodus out of Cuba. The members of the family moved to the United States and shifted their distillery to the beautiful island of Puerto Rico.
Often depicted in red, a color of joy, bats represent "good fortune" in traditional Chinese culture. This is the Bacardi symbol, and it is a reflection of their prosperity. Eventually, they began to rebuild the empire that they had left behind in their Cuban homeland. Bacardi is now in their seventh generation, and they are in constant pursuit of perfection in the art of rum-making.

The brand soon expanded and the duo became a crew of 6 passionate individuals, the rest is history.Read More
Coming from a bartending background they were fascinated by the country's sugar cane and coffee, both some of the highest quality in the world. They instantly began thinking about ways to combine them with rum, which is how Ron Colon Salvadoreno Coffee Infused Rum came to be. They partnered with Jags Heads Coffee farms and the Licorera Cihuatán distillery to create a unique dry and fruity coffee rum, as well as an aged rum expression.
The rum is a blend of 70% 6-year-old column-still Salvadorean rum, 15% unaged Jamaican pot-still rum, and 15% 3-year-old Jamaican rum. It's made with local sugar cane and aged in white oak ex-bourbon barrels. The Coffee Infused expression takes the Aged Rum and macerates it with whole coffee beans from the El Ciprés region, where they are grown in volcanic soil at an altitude of 1700m. The maceration takes 48 hours, which allows the rich flavor to transfer to the liquid. This process is cut off just before bitter notes would start forming.
