There is hardly a mojito or daiquiri in the world that hasn't at some point been mixed with the white bottle bearing the bat. Carta Blanca is the very definition of white rum.

Expert description

Bacardi Carta Blanca is a Rum from Puerto Rico, charcoal filtered for colour and bottled at 37.5%.

Bacardi was founded in 1862 in Cuba, but is today produced primarily in Puerto Rico. Carta Blanca is the house's original, light rum style, a white rum filtered through charcoal to remove colour and the heaviest flavour compounds, resulting in a clean, dry and light profile designed to be versatile rather than complex.
