Facundo Paraiso XA Rum

There is a new king in the Bacardi Empire of Rum… all hail the king.

Bacardi is still family owned — seven generations of the Bacardi family have run the company since it was founded on February 4th, 1862. They are the largest privately held Spirits company in the world. Headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda, they are best known for their namesake White Puerto Rican Rum. But they are a worldwide producer of Spirits covering every major category with annual sales nearing US $5 billion.

To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the company, Bacardi set out to create a masterpiece line of ultra-premium Rums. Thus, they created the Facundo range of four special Rums — each distinct and unique.

Facundo Paraiso Rum is the oldest Rum Bacardi makes. They combed the warehouses across their Rum empire to collect the finest and oldest barrels. Some sources say that the Rums are up to twenty-three years old, other sources say that the Rum averages 23 years. But what matters here is that this is brilliantly-aged stuff married in new Limousin oak casks. It’s big and bold and different from any Bacardi you have ever had.

Smartass Corner:
The Facundo range of ultra-premium Rums from Bacardi is named after the original founder, Don Facundo Bacardi Massó.
