(This thread is for informational purposes only; I just find this stuff interesting. I like everybody, really.)

In the book, How American's Can Buy American, you can see who or really what nation owns a certain company. Here's what it's got to say about rum:

Bermuda - Anejo, Bacardi, Carta Blanca, Castillo, Limon
UK - Black Heart, Lamb's Navy, Lemon Hart, Malibu,
France - Captain Morgan, Havana Club, Mount Gay, Myers', Ron Llave
US -(incomplete list) Gosling's, Ronrico (bleah)

Interesting--I always thought Captain Morgan and Bacardi were American companies. I guess I don't like ANY American rum. Who knew about Myer's and Havana Club? Other cool stuff in the book: No Canadian whiskys are Canadian-owned. Wild Turkey is French-owned too.
