Bacardi’s exclusive emphasis on quality began in Santiago de Cuba where on February 4 1862 Don Facundo Bacardi Masso purchased a small distillery and revolutionized rum making. After careful and systematic experimentation with a variety of ingredients aging and blends Don Facundo created a new smooth light-bodied spirit – Bacardi rum – what the world now knows as premium light rum.BACARDI Reserva Ocho rum boasts warming notes of butterscotch nutmeg and dried apricots. Longer aging brings out additional complexity of flavors from the barrel and develops a rich body with velvety smoothness.
