Bacardi Carta Negra 40% 1 l

Bacardi Carta Negra is a medium-bodied dark rum with a rich and distinctive character. It is crafted under the supervision of the Maestros de Ron BACARDÍ and derives its distinctive profile from aging in heavily charred oak barrels, which impart deeper notes of wood, caramel, and spices to the rum.

Aroma: Toasty and nutty, with notes of vanilla, caramel, and tropical fruit.

Flavor: Medium-bodied and balanced, with notes of plums, tropical fruit, vanilla, and subtle spices.

The aroma features roasted and nutty notes that gradually give way to the sweeter character of tropical fruit, vanilla, and buttery caramel. The taste is full-bodied yet well-balanced, with notes of plums, tropical fruit, and subtle spices. The finish features smoky, molasses, and licorice notes, along with woody tones and a hint of nutmeg.

About Bacardi:

February 4, 1862 marked the beginning of a new era for rum when Don Facundo Bacardi Massó purchased the first distillery in Santiago de Cuba for 3,500 pesos. With a vision to create a rum that would meet the demands of the growing middle class, he began experimenting with distillation techniques and raw materials. His innovations included the use of a special yeast strain, known as “La Levadura BACARDÍ,” which was selected for its ability to impart the rum’s characteristic flavor profile. This strain is still used today and forms the basis of BACARDÍ rum’s unique character.

Don Facundo Bacardí Massó developed a double-distillation method, combining aguardiente and redestilado to achieve a balance between robust and delicate profiles, which was revolutionary at the time. He was also a pioneer of charcoal filtration and targeted aging, which to this day form the core practices of Bacardí’s master blenders.

Seven generations of the Bacardí family have kept this innovative spirit alive, producing rums that are prized around the world. Bacardí boasts the title of the world’s most awarded rum and offers a wide range, from light rums for cocktails to dark aged rums.
