History:

Created in 2018 for Bacardí Legacy by Jenna Hemsworth at Restaurant Hubert in Sydney, Australia. Jenna says, "The inspiration behind The Monarch project was to champion the women of the industry - who too often go overlooked and underappreciated. Trailblazers in their field just like the Bacardi family - in particular, Amalia Moreau who influenced the foundation of the brand - inspired me to create an army of strong women to help spread my message, my cocktail and my legacy."
