The BACARDÍ rum limited editions commemorate the rich history of the iconic brand. BACARDÍ, de Maestros de Ron, Vintage: MMXII is a combination of the finest rums laid to rest in oak barrels over the last 20 years, blended by eight Maestros de Ron (Master Blenders), each a Bacardi family member. Finished in 60-year-old Cognac barrels, the vintage rum is displayed in an award-winning design hand-blown crystal decanter. The rum is truly exclusive, only 200 are available for $2,000 each.
The creation of the cognac barrel was given to professional glassmakers Nouvel Glass Studio in Mexico over 200 miles away from the birth of the rum. The design is one of the most complex designs for any glass bottle, the sphere within a sphere was planned to represent the seed of the ‘el coco’ plant, which was planted by Facundo Bacardi Moreau, the son of the founder of Bacardi. The decanter was formulated by a blowing technique and if it were a gram over or under the correct weight, it would be discarded, showing the precision and perfection that Bacardi have put into this rum.
The 150th anniversary specialty pack for BACARDÍ Superior rum creates a striking display in travel retail stores as the limited-edition package is decorated with vibrant historical advertising imagery. On the back, a note from Chairman Facundo L. Bacardi recalls how in 1862 his great-great-grandfather created a revolutionary rum with a smooth and refined taste which would inspire cocktail pioneers to create some of the first classic cocktail recipes including the original Daiquirí, the authentic Mojito, and the original Cuba Libre.
