On February 4, 1862, Don Facundo Bacardí Massó purchased the first BACARDÍ rum distillery on El Matadero Street, in the town of Santiago de Cuba, for 3,500 pesos. Here, he pioneered a new way of making rum that would change the way rum was made forever. Don Facundo realized that early rums were crude and harsh and not fit for the cultivated palettes of Cuba’s emerging middle classes. He set out to create a locally produced spirit that was as sophisticated as the finest cognacs. He began with the highest quality ingredients including a unique strain of yeast which he found growing in the sugarcane fields outside Santiago de Cuba. This proprietary strain of yeast became known as ‘La Levadura BACARDÍ’ and continues to be used exclusively to provide BACARDÍ rum with its unique flavor profile.
Bacardi Carta Negra is a medium-bodied black rum known for its rich, dark flavors developed in heavily charred oak barrels. This rum is expertly blended by the Maestros de Ron Bacardí, and its journey from nose to finish encapsulates a variety of deep and complex flavors, making it ideal for sipping or enhancing the depth of flavor in dark rum cocktails.
Nose:
You'll encounter aromas of toasted nuts, adding a rich and inviting layer to its profile.
Palate:
The rum offers a tropical and medium-bodied taste that features a blend of sweet, tropical fruit, buttery caramel, and vanilla, creating a well-rounded and appealing flavor.
Finish:
The finish of Bacardi Carta Negra is marked by smoky molasses and a hint of licorice, adding depth and a lasting impression to the tasting experience.
