Awards
In its 150 year history, Bacardí rum has won upwards of 400 awards for quality and product profile making it the world’s most awarded rum. Emblems of gold medals and the Spanish Coat of Arms awarded during the formative years of the business appear on every bottle of Bacardí Rum.
Despite the fact that many of Bacardi's offerings are aimed at the lower and middle-part of the price spectrum, Bacardí rums have been entered in a number of international spirit ratings competitions. Several Bacardi spirits have performed notably well. Bacardí 8, for example, received two gold medals and a silver from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition between 2008 and 2010. In addition, it received the International High Quality Trophy at Monde Selection's World Quality Selections in 2010, and a Grand Gold Medal in 2011. Bacardí Gold, Bacardí 8, and Bacardí Reserva Limitada were also awarded International High Quality Trophy awards at the 2010 Monde Selection’s World Quality Selections.
Proof66's, a website that acts as an aggregator of professional ratings including the Beverage Testing Institute, as well as scores from other professional rating organizations, places Bacardí Reserva Limitada, Bacardí 1873 Solera, and Bacardí 8 in the First Tier or Top 10th percentile of all rated spirits.
