His privileged life as the son of a judge had been torn away, and at age 11 he was boarded onto a plane for Miami, send off without his parents, as were his brother and 14,000 other Cuban children, in an operation known as Pedro Pan. His outlawing of Christmas became a symbol of all the young Carlos had lost. So is Christmas and Castro’s decision to ban religion and the celebrations that went with it. The Cuban Revolution is at the core of Carlos Eire‘s memoir. Fortunately for Bacardi, some years earlier it had established itself in Porto Rico and Mexico, as well as the Bahamas, where it had moved some assets and the ownership of its trademarks. The company’s exit from Cuba followed Castro’s rise to power and the Cuban Revolution of 1959, after which all private property was banned and bank accounts confiscated without compensation. Neither location is one the Cuban founder would have expected of a Bacardi. It is made up of rums blended together in the Bahamas, where it is aged for 10 years in ex-bourbon American oak barrels, before being shipped to Mexico, where it is reduced to 40% abv and bottled. Like the other three premium sipping rums of the Facundo Rum Collection, Eximo honours the legacy of Facundo Bacardi Masso. Today Bacardi is the largest privately owned spirits company in the world, with over 200 brands in its portfolio. The history of Bacardi goes back to Facundo Bacardi Masso, who emigrated from Spain to Cuba and in 1862 founded the company, which, through innovative distilling processes, was able to produce a distinctively smooth, light-bodied rum. Exudes a warm spicy richness, perfect complement to Christmas cake before an open fire. Semi-sweet dark chocolate, with a smooth oak-cut of fire. On the nose is vanilla, caramel, cinnamon - spice-rich fare that continues on the taste buds. It pours dark walnut from its heavy glass decanter. But finding a reading counterpart was challenging, not unlike waiting for snow in Havana. The premium rum proved to be a perfect accompaniment to a snowy Christmas season.
