OK, now I'm definitely confused. I have seen lots of tins of something labeled Bacardi Superior with a vintage style label but I assumed that was just throwback packaging and the rum inside the bottle was the regular Bacardi drek. I was looking for and never saw a big "1909" or "Heritage" designation on the label, but maybe that's the stuff and I didn't know it. I guess the easiest thing will be to look at the ABV and if it's 44.5% it's the 1909 edition and if it's 40% it's the drek.

Here is the one: http://popsop.com/wp-content/uploads/BACARDI-Heritage-Gift-Pack-original.jpg in the Super Collectible Tin, and another "plain" http://cdn2.bigcommerce.com/server5500/tpbc2s65/products/2709/images/2742/bacardi_silverheritage__19536__67799.1358534460.1280.1280.jpg

Besides the proof (89 vs 80) the Heritage version is also distilled in Mexico, not PR. It's not my favorite white, but it is my favorite Spanish Caribbean white, and my go-to for daiquiris and mojitos. (YMMV)

HTH!
