Founded in Santiago de Cuba in 1862, Bacardi quickly became one of the most popular rums in the world. But the company's success was soon threatened by the Cuban Revolution of 1959. Fidel Castro's communist government nationalized all private property, including Bacardi.

The Bacardi family was forced to flee Cuba, but they vowed to return one day. They established a new headquarters in Miami and began rebuilding their company from scratch.

For decades, the Bacardi family fought to reclaim their property in Cuba. They lobbied the U.S. government, filed lawsuits, and never gave up hope of returning to their homeland.

In 2016, President Barack Obama announced that the U.S. would normalize relations with Cuba. This opened the door for the Bacardi family to finally return to Cuba and reclaim their property.
