Bacardi was a large Earth producer of rums. Founded by Don Facundo Bacardí Massó on February 4, 1862, the company was first based in Cuba. The company ceased Cuban relations with Fidel Castro's rise to power in the 20th century. The company was later headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda. The Bacardi company also owned several other brands including Grey Goose vodka, Dewar's scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Martini & Rossi vermouth, and Cazadores tequila.
Leonard McCoy and Montgomery Scott included this drink in their "drinking alphabet". (TOS novel: Uhura's Song)
