Here's some contact info I found where you might get you answer. Mr. John Gomez Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer Marketing for general rums report here. General Rums include Bacardi Superior (Light), Gold, Castillo (Silver, Gold, & Spiced), Party Drinks, and Mixers. For Bacardi Flavors, see Paul Francis. Assistant: Ms. Libbey Garcia I can almost guarantee that the rum is no longer exclusively from PR, but rather a blend of cheap rum from wherever they could get it in the islands. This contact can probably tell you what percentage is still from PR and what islands furnish the remainder that forces them to have dropped the PR from their label.
