Caroline Hipperson, Bacardi global brand
director, said the global launch of the new bottles today marks Bacardi’s
“Founders Day”, the anniversary of the birth of the business in Cuba in 1862. “Our vision was to create a bottle that told
the story of Bacardi, its unique heritage and the masterful crafting that goes
into the creation of each of our premium rums; one that makes bartenders proud
to pour Bacardi rum for the next 150 years,” she said.
The new labeling has brought back the Iconic "Bacardi Bat" to the label as it continues to go back to its roots in the way they are presenting themselves. The new bottle marks the first time that a bottle was made for the needs of the bartenders that handle it every day. “The new bottle shape is taller and slimmer
with improved weight distribution, all designed to enable bartenders to grab
the bottle more quickly from the speed rail.”
The public and the bartenders are expected to be able to see these new bottles and labels in April of this year. I'm looking forward to getting to the Miami Rum Festival this year where I'm sure that they will be on display for us to handle and see the new labels.
