The company operates out of its headquarters in Hamilton, Bermuda, and was formed in 1862. The business was founded by Facundo Bacardi Masso, who was a Spanish wine merchant born in Catalonia, Spain. Rum was cheap to produce at this time and was not considered to be a refined beverage. Facundo intended to tame rum by isolating a strain of yeast that is still used in the product today. This provided a unique flavor that the company would become known for. The process also involved removing numerous impurities in order to produce one of the first white rums.

Bacardi Masso and his brother Jose purchased a distillery and would go on to begin producing the drink in large quantities. The company's well-known bat logo is a reference to the fruit bats that lived in the early distillery.
