Cacique

Cacique is a rum brand that is currently owned and marketed by Bardinet S.A. It was introduced in 1959 by Licorerías Unidas SA (LUSA), a subsidiary of the Canadian drinks empire, Seagram. When they were dissolved in 2001, LUSA was acquired by Diageo.

Although the distillery was sold to Destilerías Unidas SA (DUSA) in 2002, Diageo retained the brand and entered a supply contract with the distillery to continue its production and owned the label until 2025. Its core range is limited, comprising its standard añejo expression and a more premium line called 500 Gran Reserve.
