Celebrate Your Untameable Spirit

Untamed Spirit
Hard times seem to befall all of us during the holidays, but the support of family and your own perseverance always gets you through. The Bacardí family, of Bacardi Rum, has faced a multitude of trials and tribulations. Fire, devastating earthquakes, prohibition in the 1920s, the Cuban Revolution in the 50s, and finally exile in the 60s. But somehow, the Bacardí family didn’t just survive—they thrived, since 1862. Their passion for crafting quality rum brought them through everything fate could throw at them. For over a century and a half, Bacardí has been crafting legit rum. And every scrape they’ve been through is infused into the flavor of this untameable spirit. Celebrate the overcoming of diversity this holiday season with a Hemingway Hammer (recipe below).
