Bacardi Black is a bold, dark rum that reflects the depth and intensity of Caribbean craftsmanship. Aged in heavily charred oak barrels, this rum develops a rich, full-bodied character with a smoothness that balances its strength. Crafted from select molasses-based distillates, Bacardi Black undergoes a slow maturation process that allows notes of oak, tropical fruit, and spice to integrate harmoniously, creating a layered and robust profile.

Its dark mahogany color and concentrated flavors set it apart from lighter rums in the Bacardi range, offering a complexity that works equally well for sipping neat, mixing into bold cocktails, or enhancing classics like the Cuba Libre and Dark & Stormy. The rum’s smoky sweetness and mellow finish reflect over 160 years of Bacardi’s dedication to blending tradition with versatility.

As part of Bacardi’s storied legacy, Black Rum delivers a distinctively rich take on Caribbean rum — one that appeals to those who seek depth, smoothness, and a touch of intensity in every glass.

Bacardi

Bacardi is one of the world’s most famous rum brands, founded in 1862 by Don Facundo Bacardí Massó in Santiago de Cuba. At a time when rum was considered a harsh, unrefined spirit, Bacardi revolutionized production by introducing charcoal filtration, controlled fermentation, and aging in white oak barrels. These innovations created a smoother, more approachable rum that helped establish Bacardi as a household name and a symbol of modern rum-making.

The brand’s history is deeply intertwined with Cuba’s cultural and political shifts. After the Cuban Revolution, the Bacardi family relocated operations, eventually establishing a global headquarters in Bermuda. Despite these changes, Bacardi has remained family-owned for more than 160 years, now spanning seven generations, making it one of the largest privately held spirits companies in the world.

Today, Bacardi sources molasses from around the Caribbean and Latin America, with fermentation, distillation, and blending taking place in facilities such as those in Puerto Rico and Mexico. The portfolio ranges from the classic Bacardi Superior white rum to aged reserves and flavored expressions, all maintaining the emphasis on smoothness and versatility. Bacardi has become synonymous with rum itself, playing a key role in iconic cocktails like the Daiquiri, Mojito, and Cuba Libre, while continuing to represent innovation, heritage, and global reach.
