1. BACARDI rum (BACARDI): Created by the founder of Bacardi in 1862, it is aged and brewed with extraordinary glycol and fresh taste. It can be mixed with any soft drink, directly added with juice or drunk with ice cubes. It is known as the "bottle bar" and is the preferred brand in popular bars. It has been used to prepare legendary cocktails around the world.
The founder of the brand, who immigrated to Cuba from Spain, successfully gave Rum, which was originally very rough and strong, a delicate and soft new style for the first time, thus making Bacardi the representative brand of Rum. In addition to the most basic light series, the 151° alcohol content is as high as 75.5, which is used to make cocktails with a particularly full taste.
Today, the producers of Bacardi rum are still descendants of Mr. Facondo. The wine is stored in American white oak barrels to make the wine fresh and smooth. Bacardi rum is cultivated in natural wooden barrels to develop a mellow and fragrant wine flavor, while the darker golden rum is stored in charred oak barrels, making the wine lighter and more aromatic.
Bacardi is now the world's only privately held spirits company, employing more than 6,000 people in 170 countries around the world.
Don Facundo began trying to "tame" rum. After experimenting with several techniques he hit on filtering rum through charcoal. This removes impurities. Additionally he aged the rum in oak barrels. This has a "mellowing" effect to the drink.
Moving from the experimental phase to a more commercial endeavor, he and his brother José set up shop in a small distillery on February 4, 1862.
Their first copper and pig iron operation still produced 35 barrels of fermented molasses per day. In this building the rafters live fruit sticks. Hence the Bacardi stick trademark.
The 1890s were a tumultuous time for the company. Emilio Bacardi, Don Facundo's eldest son, exiled from Cuba for anti-colonial activities and his eldest son fought as a Cuban independence fighter in the rebel army. His brother, Facundo José, and his brother-in-law, Henri Schueg, remained in Cuba to maintain company troubles during the war. Women at home are refugees in Kingston, Jamaica. During the Cuban War of Independence, and later both the American possession of Cuba, the "Original Cuban Libre" and the Daiquiri cocktail originated with Bacardi rum. In 1899, U.S. General Leonard Wood appointed Mayor Emilio Bacardi of Santiago De Cuba.
In 1912, Emilio Bacardi traveled to Egypt where he purchased a mummy for the future Emilio Bacardi Moreau Municipal Museum in Santiago De Cuba. In Santiago, his brother Facundo M. Bacardi continues to carefully supervise the training of the third generation of family master blenders. Henri Schueg, meanwhile, began to expand the company. He has opened new bottles of plants in Barcelona, ??Spain and New York. Due to prohibition, the New York factory was closed. During this time, Cuba became a hotspot for American tourists.
In the 1920s, Emilio opened a new distillery in Santiago. During this decade, the Art Deco Bacardi Building was put in Havana. The third generation of the Bacardi family enters the business. Facundito Bacardi was known to have invited Americans (still subject to prohibition) to "come to Cuba and bathe in Bacardi rum." A new product was introduced: Hatuey beer.
The 1930s brought more new bottle plants in Mexico City and a new distillery in Puerto Rico under the leadership of Ron Bacardi. Several trademark disputes went viral during this time over the use of the Bacardi name on rum produced out of Cuba. The company's leadership then fell to Henri Schueg from Puerto Rico who tried to keep the surname on the bottle. Other cases were won by Bacardi admitting "a Bacardi cocktail is the only Bacardi cocktail as made with Bacardi rum."
During the World War II years the company was led by Henri's son-in-law Jose Pepin Bosch . Pepin established Bacardi Imports in New York. In 1949 he named the treasure the Minister of Cuba.
After the Cuban Revolution (1959) when Fidel Castro came to power, Bacardi Company fled Cuba for the Bahamas, and continued to operate it outside of it. The Cuban government seized the corporate assets left in Cuba and strongly disliked the Bacardi Corporation. Feelings exchanged, it was asked by Hernando Ospina Calvo Bacardi to provide funding to anti-Castro groups during the 1960s, which helped found the Cuban American National Foundation (CANF) in 1981 and supported the Helm Burton Operation in 1996. Ernest Hemingway mentions Hatuey Beer in two of his works: There Are and There Are Not and The Old Man and the Sea. In 1956, Bacardi held a festival to commemorate Hemingway's winning of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
