Facundo Strana 1 z 1

Facundo Rum Collection is an ultra-premium brand launched by the Bacardí family as a tribute to founder Don Facundo Bacardí. Introduced in 2013, it showcases the pinnacle of Caribbean rum craftsmanship and celebrates over 150 years of Bacardí heritage. Each expression in the collection is carefully blended from limited reserves kept in the family’s archives in the Bahamas and Puerto Rico.

Facundo represents the fusion of history, luxury, and artisanal mastery. The collection includes exceptional rums—from the lighter Neo, through the refined Eximo, to the rare XO expressions Exquisito and Paraíso. The brand embodies the very best of Caribbean rum, with a focus on detail, maturation, and elegance, designed for connoisseurs seeking more than an ordinary premium rum.

Origin and Heritage:
The story begins in 1862 in Santiago de Cuba, where Don Facundo founded his distillery with the goal of transforming the harsh, raw rum of his time into a refined and elegant spirit. Through his innovation, he introduced techniques that became industry standards – using his own yeast strain, separating distillates, charcoal filtration, and ageing in oak barrels. The Facundo Collection draws on this rich heritage, exploring the Bacardi archives and ancient casks to reveal the finest expressions of the family’s legacy.

What Makes It Unique?
Each Facundo rum is a hand-selected blend of spirits aged from several years up to decades. Every edition is presented in a decorative decanter or luxury bottle, making it a collector’s item. The emphasis is on sipping enjoyment rather than mixing – these rums are designed to be savored neat. The craftsmanship spans every step, from the cultivation of sugarcane and production of molasses to distillation, maturation, and cask selection – all guided by the Bacardi family philosophy.

Notable Editions in the Facundo Collection:
Facundo Neo – a blend of younger rums filtered through activated charcoal to remove color while preserving flavor; delicate and subtly mature.
Facundo Eximo – blended before aging, then matured for 10–12 years in white oak barrels; flavors of dark chocolate, caramel, and walnuts.
Facundo Exquisito – a selection of rums aged 7–23 years, partly finished in sherry casks; notes of dried apricot, raisins, and roasted almonds.
Facundo Paraiso – the pinnacle of the collection, crafted from the Bacardi family’s oldest reserves, some up to 23 years old, finished in French XO cognac casks; flavors of vanilla, toasted oak, and soft spice.
