The trademark "Bacardi" was born on February 4, 1862, when a plant for the production of rum was opened. It was founded by the wine merchant Facundo Bacardi, who emigrated to Cuba.
The rum was then considered to be the vigorous drink of pirates, andTo use it at secular events was not accepted. And he liked the pirates to his taste. The taste of the drink was rude. Rum burned his throat and sternum. These qualities of raw rum warmed pirates in bad weather during a long voyage. He was warmed by the body during the heat of the body, when the pirates got cold from the cold winds. For medical purposes, they have been disinfected with wounds. Rum was a universal drink in the sea, which warmed the soul, and leisure was brightened up, and the body saved from many diseases.
Birth of Roma
Don Facundo Bacardi thought that rum -a cheap drink of pirates, did not give rest. He wanted to bring the rum to a new level, to be served at the court. In his spare time, Bacardi conducted experiments on the drink. The first thing he did was to soften the taste of the rum. It turned out, thanks to filtration through coal. During the filtration process, the heavy impurities of the rum settled on the coal, resulting in a clean, soft to taste option.
Then Bacardi tried to increase the aging of rum in oak barrels.
It turned out an excellent drink, with a pleasant softtaste, rich aftertaste, dark color. Don Facundo called the new soft rum in honor of himself - "Bacardi". He drank easily, and the next morning he did not have a headache, as after a local pirate rum.
Buying a factory and starting a company
To make the goods go to the masses, Don Facundo bought a factory and created a company. Rum began to drink the monarchs. Gradually, the drink won the love of all lovers of good and quality alcohol.
During the work of the plant, many different Roma were produced. Among them - a golden rum.

In order not to face forgery, it is recommendedbuy a drink in specialized stores or large network supermarkets. Such organizations value their reputation, so they will not be associated with falsification.
It is necessary to pay attention to the name of the Roma.Some manufacturers change only one letter, and by law they do not find fault, but with the replacement of 1 letter we are already dealing with another drink. For example, among counterfeits you can often find Bakardi Gold, instead of the original name - Bacardi Gold, although outwardly the bottles are very similar.
Pay attention to the appearance of the bottle.Labels and excise stamps on counterfeits are often glued by hand, so the signs of such work are obvious. It is difficult to glue hands in exactly one line. But even if the label is glued by a professional, smoothly, without marriage, this does not mean that the original is before you. Rare Roma buyers hardly know what the bottle looks like with the protection of the original drink.
All this information is available on the websitemanufacturer, so you need to carefully read all the degrees of protection and appearance of the bottle before you go to the store. The slightest deviation - and before you 100% falsified.
Pay attention to the price.Any drink has a manufacturer's recommended price. In fact, in all stores that sell the original rum, the price may vary by 100-200 rubles. But if you have clearly underestimated the cost of rum, you have a fake. Some merchants expose rum at a low price under the banner "Action". But the store can not trade at the expense of itself. If the action is carried out by the manufacturer, then it must take place in all stores, and not only in one. But even in this case, a bottle of rum can not cost 2 times cheaper.
