A family-owned company full of passionate employees and iconic brands, shaped by our rich history of spirited entrepreneurship.
Bacardi Limited is built on the enduring legacy of a family. Ours is a vibrant, family owned spirits company, nurtured by seven generations of the Bacardí family. We are the largest, privately held spirits company. Bacardi was founded in 1862 in Santiago de Cuba, when Don Facundo Bacardí Massó revolutionized the spirits industry by creating the world’s first light-bodied rum.
We have grown to encompass an impressive portfolio of more than 200 brands and labels. These include BACARDÍ rum, the world’s best-selling and most-awarded rum; GREY GOOSE vodka; DEWAR’S Blended Scotch whisky; BOMBAY SAPPHIRE gin; MARTINI vermouth and sparkling wines; CAZADORES 100% blue agave tequila; and other leading and emerging brands including WILLIAM LAWSON’S, ERISTOFF vodka, and ST. GERMAIN liqueur.
We are focused on building upon our successes by recruiting the best and brightest talent to have a well-balanced employee population that reflects our diverse society, customers and consumers. Around the globe we employ nearly 6,000 people who are guardians of a tradition of excellence dating back more than 152 years. Our products are sold in more than 150 markets worldwide by our own companies and third-party distributors, and we operate 27 production facilities for bottling, distilling and manufacturing in 16 countries.
Bacardi Limited refers to the Bacardi group of companies, including Bacardi International Limited. The Company is headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda.
