It is usually served as a digestif, accompanied by a light snack or without it at all. The basic rules for drinking rum directly depend on the duration of aging.
The longer the alcohol is aged in barrels, the richer its aroma and taste. Bacardi aged three to six years is rarely used for cocktails. Gourmets prefer to enjoy the taste and aroma of this rum in its true form.

- Sea fish with neutral taste and smell;

- Tropical fruits, herbs, mousses, soufflés, creams.
Undiluted rum and cocktails based on it are always served with ice.

- Too aromatic fish, like herring;
- Fatty, high-calorie foods;
- All types of vegetables.
- Spicy sauces prepared with garlic, paprika, chili, coriander;
- There should be no traditional bread on the table. In case of emergency, it is replaced with flatbreads with herbs, croutons, and tartlets.

Bacardi is one of the most recognizable rum brands in the world.

After the Cuban Revolution, Bacardi's production facilities were moved outside Cuba and are currently located in Puerto Rico, Mexico and India.
Bacardi rum comes in several types depending on how it is made. The future product is particularly influenced by the origin of the molasses for the wort, its sweetness, the aging period of the resulting alcohol in oak barrels, the degree of burning of the barrels, the mixing of alcohols with different characteristics, and the filtration of rum using a mixture of charcoal and coconut shells.

Bacardi Carta Blanca(Bacardi White) or Superior (Improved) is a white rum that has a light vanilla-fruity aroma and a mild taste, obtained during a short aging for a year in white oak barrels and careful filtration. This means that it will not be a dominant ingredient and is suitable for light cocktails such as mojitos. In its pure form, this rum is not particularly popular. Juice of lemon, orange, pineapple, etc., this is what they drink Bacardi white with most often.

Bacardi rum rightfully bears the title of the unofficial leader among strong alcoholic drinks, so the company producing this alcohol has to constantly maintain its brand. However, with the constantly growing demands of customers, it is impossible to please everyone by producing only a type of rum. Consequently, the manufacturing company supplies the market with a wide variety of types of drink, so that any consumer can choose the rum that suits him. The price of this alcohol varies depending on the brand of rum, starting from approximately from 1000 rubles and above.
The silhouette of a bat became the symbol of the enterprise. They say that after purchasing the plant, nocturnal inhabitants settled under the roof and the couple considered this a good omen.

Producer Rum Black Bacardi
The history of the brand began in 1862, when the Spaniard Facundo Bacardi moved to Santiago de Cuba, where he began producing alcohol. After experimenting with the recipe, the brothers Facundo and Jose managed to get a new Caribbean drink.
The first alcohol produced by the plant was Bacardi Suptrior. This is how the history of the Bacardi brand began, which has existed for more than 150 years.
Today, the Bacardi concern is a giant in the alcohol industry and has 31 production facilities, where more than 6,000 people work hard. Bacardi sells more than 200 million bottles a year and this alcohol can be purchased anywhere in the world. The goal set by the founder - to sell Bacardi in all establishments in the world - has been achieved.
Professionals in blending modern Bacardi alcohol have preserved production traditions to this day. Today the company is managed by the great-great-great-grandson of the founder.
Comparing the taste of Bacardi with other representatives of rum, the question involuntarily comes to mind - its composition and why it has such special taste characteristics.
The technological process for producing this alcohol has remained unchanged since the founding of the company. The drink is based on a special alcohol, which is obtained from black molasses (Molasses). Sugar cane is carefully cleaned and chopped into small pieces. Then it is put under pressure to extract juice. After this, the liquid is passed through specialized filters and poured into copper distillation devices, which ferments there for 30-35 days thanks to the added yeast. The name of this yeast culture is still kept secret.
Upon completion of the process, the resulting alcohol is passed through carbon filters, due to which it receives a high degree of biopurification.
Also, special attention is paid to the maturation of rum during the manufacturing process. The drink is aged in oak barrels from America, which are made by hand. The inner surface of which is fired, which subsequently affects the taste characteristics and bouquet of alcohol.
Despite technological progress, the workshops at the plant where alcohol is produced are not automated, and all stages of production are monitored by people.

It all started on February 4, 1862, when Don Facundo Bacardi Masso bought a small distillery in Santiago de Cuba on El Matadero Street for 3,500 pesos. In addition to the still, the distillery contained a colony of fruit bats. This gave Don Facundo's wife Amalia the idea of using the image of a bat as a symbol for Bacardi rum to make it recognizable. Indeed, soon the rum produced by Facundo Bacardi became known as el Ron del Murcielago, i.e. "bat rum" Facundo Bacardi sought to create, instead of coarse and harsh local rums, a drink that would be as subtle as the best cognacs. Working to improve production technology, he not only introduced some European techniques for making alcoholic beverages, but also invented his own. In the cane fields he found a line of yeast, later named La Levadura Bacardi, that is still used in the production of Bacardi rum, helping to maintain its unique aromatic profile. To create a light and balanced drink, Facundo Bacardi came up with the idea of making two types of alcohols. One of them, known as aguardiente, has a typical rum bouquet and forms the basis of Bacardi. The second - redestilado - is the product of several successive distillations and gives Bacardi lightness and delicacy. In addition, Facundo Bacardi was the first to use charcoal filtration and aging in oak barrels in the production of rum. His efforts did not go unnoticed. Bacardi rum was highly appreciated not only by amateurs, but also by experts at international competitions. Shortly after Bacardi rum received its third international award, Don Facundo retired, passing the reins of the company to his eldest son Emilio, and the secret of making rum to his middle son named Facundo. The younger Jose did not stand aside either. In the 1890s, he opened a sales office for Bacardi rum in Havana. Thanks to the efforts of the brothers and their successors, the fame of Bacardi rum crossed borders and the company became the first international corporation born in Cuba with production facilities in several countries in South and North America. Although in fairness, it should be noted that the popularity of Bacardi rum was greatly facilitated by the arrival of Americans to Cuba at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, who “invented” Bacardi Daiquiri and Bacardi with Cola. Foreign subsidiaries were the basis for Bacardi's revival following the nationalization of its island-based assets by Cuba's revolutionary government in 1960. Today, Bacardi has grown into the largest privately owned alcohol company in the world, owning a number of well-known brands.
