There may be other Rum from Cuba for the USA... - Tiki Drinks and Food

Yes, it is an absolute pain, and thoroughly unfair state of affairs when Rum companies start banging eachother over the head at the expense of the consumer. On a brighter note there is another premium Ron I'm sure many of you know about that won't suffer from the same name problems and should with luck be available in the future in the USA... Santiago de Cuba. ( http://www.tropical-ltd.com/ ) In the UK I currently get the Santiago 3yo, 5-7yo, 11yo (outstanding!) and 21yo. They also produce Cubana Ron Liqueur at 38%abv(76proof). My advice is to get the 11yo Santiago de Cuba... It's fantastic and one of my favourites since Angostura Single Barrel Reserve. http://www.tropical-ltd.com/ PS: I have spoken with the directors of Santiago de Cuba while they were over in London for Bar.06 and they are eager to get into the US and cannot wait for the embargos to be lifted.
