Our Take on Bacardi Carta Blanca
At DubaiBottles, we believe that some spirits are the building blocks of great cocktails. Bacardi Carta Blanca is the ultimate building block. This is the white rum that defined the category. In fact, it’s the original recipe that Don Facundo Bacardí Massó perfected in 1862 in Santiago de Cuba.
This exceptional rum is crafted from a secret blend of 14 different rums. Each is aged between 3 and 5 years. The blend is then filtered through a unique blend of charcoals. This process ensures unparalleled smoothness. The result is a rum that’s as versatile as it is iconic. Whether you’re shaking up a classic Mojito, mixing a Daiquiri, or simply enjoying it with a splash of soda, this rum brings the spirit of the Caribbean to every occasion.

The Story Behind Bacardi Carta Blanca
Bacardi was founded on 4 February 1862. Don Facundo Bacardí Massó, a Spanish wine merchant, purchased a distillery in Santiago de Cuba. He revolutionised rum‑making by introducing a unique charcoal filtration process. He also aged the spirit in oak barrels. This created a smooth, light‑bodied rum that was unlike anything else available at the time.
Carta Blanca, the original white rum, was the first recipe he perfected. It’s a blend of 14 different rums aged between 3 and 5 years. It quickly became the rum of choice for the finest cocktails, from the Daiquiri to the Mojito. In 2006, Bacardi moved its headquarters to Puerto Rico. Today, Bacardi is the world’s most awarded rum. Carta Blanca remains a timeless classic — a taste of Cuban heritage that has travelled the world. Discover more on the official Bacardi website.
