Brand Story

  • Don Facundo Bacardi Masso, founder of Bacardi, started out by purchasing a distillery on February 4, 1862 in the city of Santiago de Cuba.
  • His wife chose a bat as the logo because it symbolizes good health, fortune, and family unity.
  • Five generations and a US prohibition later, the brand is now the largest premium rum distillery in the world.

Bacardi has always stood for living passionately
