Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SuFantasma 0 #30 April 27, 2005 You dummy !!!!! You are drinking Cuban Vodka ! Bacardi originated in Cuba back in the late mid to late 1800s. After the revolution, Fidel Castro seized the brand name as a national asset, however the exiliates re-opened the brand in the US (Puerto Rico) and continued the production. Cuban Bacardi is a new marketing ploy since the the inception of US-originated Havana Rum (previously a Cuban brand). Some 10 years or so ago, the US Goverment granted the US company the right use the Havana Club brand ... in retaliation the Cuban government began manufacturing and marketing "Bacardi" .... Anyways, so much for history, for all I know you are drinking Infidel's Rum... Get your ass back here !

Also..........on the lower front label it says "Casa Fundada en Cuba." The label on the back says "Bacardi Carta Blanca Rum." and has the www.bacardi.com web site.

(he drove us to our island every day.) (small bottles. appx. 16 oz?)the heinies were the small 10 oz french style. The grenadians make a nice one by the name of westerhall. fuck the french. The best is Anniversario from Venezuela. $9/bottle.in country. $30 in the states, if you can find it. aged twenty five years in oak casks. don't pay more for "better rum". 25 is enough. try calderwoods from tortola for a different style. cruzan sucks all 'round. Bacardi is piss water, in any flavor. There are many, but those are my tips. Barcelo is a nice pedestrian rum - cheap and o.k. for regular consumption. try the anniversario for a real treat. neat please.
