What Is Bacardi Superior?
Bacardi first gained its fame from the white rum it produces: the very popular Bacardi Superior.
The Bacardi website has this to say about Bacardi Superior:
…classic Bacardi rum, the soul of the Bacardi brand—youthful, high-quality, sociable, sensual and passionate…[it] is the main bearer of Bacardi‘s authenticity, origin and craft; it has carried the Bacardi Bat Device as its symbol since 1862. Its personality is that of the Latin Caribbean…which provides the Brand with a unique point of view on life.
In terms of how it is made, Bacardi Superior, is blended, charcoal-filtered, aged for at least one year, then charcoal-filtered again to produce a subtle, delicate rum that is clear in color, light in body and dry in flavor.
