✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Bacardi Carta Blanca Superior White Rum, though categorized here under 'Other', is one of the most iconic distilled spirits in history. Established in Santiago de Cuba in 1862 by Don Facundo Bacardí Massó, this spirit revolutionized the rum industry. Don Facundo pioneered charcoal filtration and purposeful aging in white oak barrels to create a smooth, light, and mixable white rum, departing from the harsh 'aguardientes' of the era. The famous bat logo on the label was inspired by the fruit bats nesting in the rafters of the original distillery, a symbol of good fortune and family unity. Following the Cuban Revolution, production transitioned to Puerto Rico, where it is crafted today at the massive Cataño distillery. It features a delicate balance of sweet vanilla, fresh citrus, and light herbal notes, achieved through a proprietary yeast strain and double filtration.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bacardí blev grundlagt i Santiago de Cuba i 1862 af Don Facundo Bacardí Massó og revolutionerede romproduktionen ved at introducere egne, rendyrkede gærstammer, kontinuerlig kolonnedestillation samt banebrydende kulfiltrering for at skabe et raffineret og let spiritusudtryk. Efter eksproprieringen af familiens værdier under den cubanske revolution flyttede virksomheden sine aktiviteter til Puerto Rico med centrum på det monumentale Casa Bacardí-anlæg i Cataño – i folkemunde kaldet "Rommens Katedral". Destilleriet ligger ved San Juan Bay og drager fuld fordel af den tropiske, maritime lagring, hvor Caribiens intense varme og høje luftfugtighed fremskynder dannelsen af estere samt udtrækket fra de forkullede fade af amerikansk hvideg. Huset anvender både aguardiente (et kraftfuldt, aromatisk destillat) og redestilado (et helt rent, neutralt destillat), som forenes gennem trinvise kulfiltreringer for at opnå en sprød, aromatisk renhed. Suveræn blendingkunst kendetegner det traditionsrige sortiment – lige fra den ikoniske mixer-reference Carta Blanca og den vaniljeprægede Carta Oro til modne, komplekse sipping-romme som Reserva Ocho og Gran Reserva Diez.
