A dark brown rum distilled from fermented molasses, it is aged for 15 years in whiskey and bourbon barrels to allow the flavors to develop to maturity. Bottled in Cuba, the cradle of rum, where rum making has been elevated to a true art. This particular bottle of Havana Club is becoming increasingly difficult to find due to the limited supply of the rum used in this blend, which is a shame because it is a great rum with a style all its own.   Havana Club is a Cuban rum brand, which is certainly one of the most famous rum brands in the world. Jose Arechabala is the founder of this fantastic rum and founded it in the year 1878, in Santa Cruz del Norte, Cuba. After the great Cuban revolution in 1959, the distillery and company were nationalized by the Cuban government and then the Arechabala family moved to Spain and not long later emigrated to the United States. The large company Bacardi also uses the Havana Club name and recipe for a number of types of its rum. Bacardi has the right to use this name and recipe as they purchased it from the Arechabala family, who were the original owners of Havana Club before the government of Cuba. The Havana club brand is distributed outside Cuba through the ‘Pernod Ricard’ group (Pernod Ricard, a French company that produces spirits). Unfortunately, due to a trade embargo, this rum is not sold in the United States. It might also be nice to know that all Cuban products, such as cigars and this rum, bear an official seal of origin. This label is considered a guarantee of authenticity and quality of the products.
