    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.
