164 Years of BACARDÍ: Stories from the Archives of the World's Most-Awarded Rum Brand

BACARDÍ Heritage Curator Rachel Guerin joins host Jason Dressel to kick off a new season of the History Factory Podcast on the rum brand’s founder’s day by exploring the iconic spirit’s ongoing legacy. A sixth-generation Bacardí family member, Rachel oversees the BACARDÍ Archives, a private collection of more than 20,000 historical artifacts in Miami, Florida, that showcases the 164-year history of the company, brand and family. Rachel spends her days entrenched in the legacy of BACARDÍ, connecting the past to the present by sharing the remarkable stories of its early days in Cuba, the cocktail culture it has created and the people who have built the family-owned company for more than seven generations.
