This fall marks the California launch of the FACUNDO™ Rum Collection, four exquisite, hand-blended sipping rums. This marks the luxury brand's first expansion since successful launches in Miami and New York in 2013. A tribute to Bacardi founder Don Facundo Bacardi Masso, the Collection is comprised of four rare blends of the finest aged sipping rums, all sourced from the Bacardi family's private rum reserves. Handcrafted with passion by the BACARDI Maestros de Ron, each marque is a culmination of years of dedication to the art of rum making, representing rum elevated to an art form. With such great rum in front of us, we wanted to enjoy it to the fullest capacity, so asked Facundo Bacardi, Chairman of the Board of Bacardi Limited, for some tips on how to drink rum in the hautest way possible.

Admit it, you’re jealous of Colin Kaepernick. Men might envy his 6’4 frame, 230 pounds of solid muscle and new contract—worth up to $126 million with $61 million guaranteed—but both men and women alike will most certainly turn pea green with envy when they hear about the size of his… closet. That’s right; Colin Kaepernick has a passion for fashion, and he isn’t afraid to indulge it.

Haute Living went one on one with Jar owner and chef Suzanne Tracht, who is among the rare group of American women chefs who have achieved the ultimate dream of owning their own restaurant. With Jar, her modern chophouse in the heart of Los Angeles, Tracht dazzles Angelenos with the allure of her familiar retro dishes from the American culinary repertoire. Her contemporary interpretation of dishes like pork belly and chocolate pudding prove that delicious food can also be unpretentious. We sat down with Tracht to chat about her ultimate steak dinner, being a female chef in the biz and begged her for her famous butterscotch pudding recipe (thankfully, she obliged).
