Bacardi Martini Limited

The international beverage giant Bacardi-Martini Limited has its origins in Cuba. The wine merchant Facundo Bacardi Massó (1814-1887), who immigrated from Spain in 1830, experimented with spirits and founded the distillery "Bacardi y Compañia" in Santiago de Cuba in 1862 with his brother José Bacardi (1829-1904). He developed the recipe for the world's first clear "white" rum, which is produced according to a secret recipe that involves fermentation with special yeasts, charcoal filtering, and aging in oak barrels. The distinctive trademark is a bat, a symbol of luck in Cuba. From 1872, the founders' sons Emilio Bacardi Moreau (1844-1922) and Facundo Bacardi Moreau (1848-1926) continued the company.
