:D Yummy,you probably already know this but the bat on the Bacardi bottle is because the cane fields were fertilized with guano.
The story that I've always heard is that the barns on the Bacardi cane field were infested with bats, and that Senora Bacardi insisted that they not be evicted because they were lucky, which is how they ended up on the bottle. I'm sure they might have also used the guano in the fields, but I've never heard of that being the inspiration for the logo.
Of course, Castro stole all of it from the Bacardi family when he nationalized the industry, and what would be their product today is put out under the Havana Club label, which I can tell you is much tastier than the Puerto Rican stuff put out under the name today. The Anejo and Bacardi 8 are decent, but the generic white and gold are terrible, especially the white; I use Cruzan Virgin Islands rum instead whenever they're called for.
