For the past 150 years, Bacardi rum has brought people together through legendary parties and great-tasting cocktails.

Bacardi was founded in Santiago de Cuba on February 4, 1862, when Don Facundo Bacardí Massó purchased a small distillery.

After years of experimenting, Bacardi revolutionised the spirits industry by adding steps never before used in rum-making.

Don Facundo selected high quality blackstrap sugarcane molasses, isolated a special strain of yeast (still used today), filtered, mellowed his rums in American white oak barrels and then blended them to create the perfect taste.

The smooth, light-bodied spirit he created, as opposed to the harsh ‘fire water’ of the time, was Bacardi – the world’s first premium rum and the first mixable rum.

To celebrate this anniversary, distributors P. Cutajar & Co. Ltd of San Ġwann, are currently ­running a Facebook competition on Bacardi, Together Malta, ­giving participants the opportunity to win 150 bottles of Bacardi.
