Bacardi Superior, a unique history It was 1862 when Don Facundo Bacardi from Santiago de Cuba after years of experimenting with ingredients and production methods added the final touches to the final recipe for making the world’s first mature white rum. Although rum had not really been a very sophisticated alcohol until then, with the emergence of Bacardi Superior Rum a whole new era was ushered in, analogous to the refined alcohol production in Europe. Bacardi Superior is a unique blend of 2 rum distillates that, after having matured in oak barrels and been

absinthbar_drinks_091211.indd 35

ﬁltered through natural charcoal, results in a soft, refreshing, pure and clear rum. Since its creation in 1862 Bacardi Superior Rum has won numerous medals for innovation and product quality worldwide.

Bacardi Superior cocktails Bacardi Superior Rum is a balanced rum that does justice to all the ingredients in a cocktail. The taste of rum never dominates, but is also undeniable. Thanks to its unique ﬂavour balance Bacardi Superior Rum is at the basis of some of the world’s most renowned cocktails. The original Mojito, Daiquirí, Piña Colada and Cuba Libre all owe their existence to Bacardi Superior Rum.
