Before Don Facundo rewrote the script, white rums were harsh, crude and unrefined. In 1862 he created Bacardi 'Carta Blanca' following 10 years of dedication to craft the perfect rum. With distinctive vanilla and almond notes which are developed in white oak barrels and shaped through a secret blend of charcoal for a distinctive smoothness. The perfect balance of subtle and delicate flavors means it doesn't dominate like gin or disappear like vodka - making it perfect for mixing classic cocktails like the Mojito.
