BACARDI world’s most awarded rum.
December 15, 2009
BACARDI rum now tops 300 awards — sustaining its title and position of “the world’s most awarded rum.” This highlights the Bacardi commitment and dedication to producing a range of rums of exceptional quality and great taste.
Bacardi has a well documented history of superior rum-making since its founding in 1862 in Santiago de Cuba when Don Facundo Bacardi Masso revolutionized the spirits industry by creating the world’s first light-bodied rums and flavored rums. For nearly 150 years, through seven generations of Don Facundo’s descendants, Bacardi has focused on quality, taste and excellence. BACARDI rum has been recognized and awarded in sixteen countries around the world.
Some of the recent accolades the BACARDI rum portfolio has secured include the top awards at the World Spirits Awards in Bad Kleinkirchheim, Austria; the Monde Selection in Brussels; the International Wine & Spirit in London; and the International Review of Spirits in Chicago.
In addition to these awards, BACARDI 8 rum just received critical acclaim in The New York Times. The New York Times spirits panel pronounced BACARDI 8 as having “the ring of true rum authority” and declared, “…the Bacardi was our best value.”
