FAQs

Rum is made using only three ingredients: molasses from sugarcane, yeast and water. Ingredients are fermented, then distilled, aged, filtered and blended.

Rum can be aged anywhere from one year upwards. Aging rum can add additional complexity to its flavor and mouthfeel.

Dark rum can be found black, brown and red in appearance and is usually, but not always, aged longer than gold or white rum. It often indicates a more intense flavor profile, and is also delicious when used in cooking.

Rum is a wonderfully complex and diverse spirit. Color can give us clues about time spent aging or the flavors that might be found within. Dark can be bold, sweet (or dry) and even smoky, gold is rich and soothing, and white is smooth, subtle and often refreshing.

But color can be misleading. The best way to truly understand a rum is to taste it for yourself.

No, spiced rum typically has added spices and flavorings to give it a bold, unique flavor, whereas gold rums tend to be more mellow.

White rum is usually a light-bodied variant with a soft, sweet taste. It’s often used in light refreshing cocktails, especially favorites, like the Mojito and Daiquiri.

Gold rum, also known as amber rum, usually provides rich and smooth flavors after being aged in barrels.

Spiced rum is often aged for as long as dark rum, but has added spices and caramel coloring. It usually carries a bold, yet smooth taste.

For a timeless rum drink , we would recommend the classic; the Mojito. An ice-cold glass of refreshment that brings out those delicate flavour notes of BACARDÍ rum while beautifully harmonising with the citrus of lime and the freshness of mint.

Combining science with art, our founder Don Facundo Bacardí Massó used only three ingredients: molasses from the best sugarcane in the world, a unique strain of yeast and local spring water that when combined with his pioneering process, give those famous flavours and characteristics synonymous with BACARDÍ today.

BACARDÍ rum starts with the high quality molasses sourced from around the world. It’s a thick, dark and sweet syrup that is left over after a three stage sugarcane refining process, resulting in the molasses containing less sugar, but still holding the sugarcane sweetness and concentrated flavours of the naturally occurring vitamins and minerals.

Absolutely yes you can!
Those smooth, bold, caramelised and smokey flavours don’t just belong in mixers alone – they can be used to spice up your culinary creativity too.

It 100% is, so everyone is happy!

The Cuatro Highball cocktail is made with BACARDÍ Añejo Cuatro gold rum, aged in the Caribbean sun for four years.

If you’re having a highball cocktail, it means it’s made from an alcoholic spirit with a larger amount of a non-alcoholic mixer.

The traditional daiquiri is made with white rum, but you can opt for a dark rum to create a cocktail with deeper notes, or perhaps a gold rum for warmer flavors. Try to balance sweet and sour for the best results.

While the classic piña colada is made with white rum, you can always experiment with different flavors. Try a gold rum to bring a bit more warmth, or a spiced rum for a unique cocktail.

The piña colada hails from San Juan, Puerto Rico, invented by a bartender named Ramón “Monchito” Marrero who used BACARDÍ white rum.

Usually, rum and cola cocktails use a light white rum that’s great for mixing, such as BACARDÍ Superior.

You can use any kind of cola in a rum and cola cocktail, as long as your taste buds fancy it!
