The Original White Rum
A good white rum is light, dry, aromatic and clear – a style invented by Don Facundo Bacardí Masso in 1862. Often copied but never surpassed, this pioneering BACARDÍ invention changed the way the world saw rum forever.
COCKTAILS
cocktail inspiration
From the Daiquiri to the Piña Colada and the rum and cola to the very best Mojitos, many cocktails use white rum. BACARDÍ, however, is the original, indispensable ingredient that’s found at the heart of many of the world’s most iconic recipes. Smooth, dry and easy to use, it’s the perfect white rum for making drinks that are cold, crisp and refreshing.

faq
your questions answered
Why is BACARDÍ Carta Blanca Clear?
One of Don Facundo’s pioneering techniques was the use of natural charcoal to absorb unwanted flavours and colors, or to highlight the most desirable ones. This allowed him to create a revolutionary clear, dry and aromatic rum for the very first time – BACARDÍ Carta Blanca. It also ensures that no single flavour can dominate the final taste, a key to its legendary mixability.
Are all BACARDÍ Expressions Charcoal-filtered?
Yes, however, our master rum makers, the Maestros de Ron BACARDÍ will use different recipes and combinations of charcoal depending on the flavour profile of the rum they are blending.
What’s the Difference Between White Rum and Rum?
White rum is rum. Some rums are clear, gold, dark or spiced and the difference in colour, aroma and flavour comes from the process used to make them. The art of the Maestros de Ron BACARDÍ – our unbroken line of master rum makers – is knowing how to achieve this through blending, ageing and filtering.
Is Sugar Added to BACARDÍ Carta Blanca?
No, BACARDÍ Carta Blanca is purposefully dry, aromatic and perfect for mixing.
What’s the Best Mixer for BACARDÍ’s White Rum?
BACARDÍ white rum is famously good in drinks that use fresh juices, cola and ginger beer. It’s also wonderful mixed with coconut water, cold brew coffee, watermelon, peach iced tea – the list goes on and on. It’s a bar in a bottle and the ultimate mixing rum.
Why Does BACARDÍ Carta Blanca Have a Different Name in Some Countries?
When it was first created, BACARDÍ Carta Blanca was known by its Spanish name, Ron BACARDÍ Superior Carta Blanca (BACARDÍ Superior White Label). Since then, some countries have adopted the name BACARDÍ Superior.
What Ingredients are Used to Make BACARDÍ’s White Rum?
BACARDÍ white rum contains purified water, high-quality molasses and our signature strain of yeast, La Levadura BACARDÍ.
What Molasses do you use?
BACARDÍ molasses must meet very specific characteristics – from its level of sweetness to its nutrient content and its environmental impact. As part of this it must also adhere to the Bonsucro® standard, the world’s highest level for sustainable sugarcane production.
What Famous Cocktails were Invented Using BACARDÍ Rum?
Many of the world’s most iconic cocktails were created using BACARDÍ rum, including the Daiquiri, the Cuba Libre and the El Presidente. The earliest known written recipe for the Mojito as we know it today also specifically called for BACARDÍ Carta Blanca.
Are BACARDÍ’s white rums vegan/vegetarian and gluten-free?
