No mystery that the 'spirit' behind the Live Tour series is BACARDI (http://www.bacardi.com/), which in 1862 revolutionized the spirits industry when founder Don Facundo Bacardi (http://www.bacardilimited.com/heritage_1.html) began producing BACARDI Rum, the world's first light bodied rum, in Santiago de Cuba. Today, BACARDI Rum is produced in Puerto Rico (http://casabacardi.org/), following the production legacy set forth by Don Facundo - crafted in a five step distillation process, aged in American white oak barrels, and filtered five times for unparalleled quality and smoothness.
