Bacardi Carta Blanca Rum, 1.5 L

A white rum which needs very little introduction, Bacardi’s Carta Blanca is incredible popular indeed, seen on backbars around the world. The Bacardi brand originated in Cuba, and the first distillery had a colony of fruit bats nesting in the rafters, hence the bat on Bacardi labels. Suitable for countless cocktails and mixed drinks.

Product Description

Whilst Bacardi is now a World renowned Brand, it’s origins are much more humble and interesting than most might expect. After an earthquake in 1852, Don Facundo lost everything – including a son and daughter to a subsequent cholera outbreak. If that wasn’t enough, his company went bankrupt soon after. Rather than give up, he took his work home where he focused on creating a smooth and elegant rum to replace the then crude, harsh cane spirits. The rest, as they say, is history.

Tasting Notes

The nose is light and fresh with a little spice and pepper, quite spirity. The palate is of medium-body with hints of tropical fruit and a note of dark brown sugar and winter spice. The finish is good with smooth vanilla spice notes.
