Light and fresh with hints of vanilla, almond, and tropical fruits, finishing smooth and crisp.
Bacardi Carta Blanca is one of the world's most iconic white rums, setting the standard for the light-bodied Puerto Rican style of rum. This versatile spirit has been the backbone of classic cocktails for generations and continues to be a favorite among bartenders and rum enthusiasts alike.
How It's Made
Bacardi Carta Blanca is crafted using a carefully controlled fermentation process of molasses derived from sugarcane. The spirit is distilled in column stills and then charcoal filtered multiple times to achieve its characteristic smoothness. It's aged in American white oak barrels for at least one year, then filtered again to remove color while retaining subtle flavors from the aging process.
Taste Profile
The nose presents light and fresh aromas with subtle vanilla and almond notes. On the palate, you'll find a clean and crisp character with hints of tropical fruits and a delicate sweetness. The finish is smooth and balanced, making it perfect for mixing in cocktails.
Territory
While Bacardi's origins trace back to Cuba in 1862, Carta Blanca is now produced in Puerto Rico, known as "the rum capital of the world." The Puerto Rican climate and strict quality controls contribute to the rum's consistent character and smooth profile.
