"tikiskip ... Quite a collection"
HA! I would say more of a dead soldier grave yard with more in the
garage.

“FILE - In this Aug. 7, 2009 photo, a bottle of Havana Club rum, center, sits on a shelf for sale at Pantry II Liquors in Miami.”

“In 1997, Bacardi bought the legal rights to the recipe and name of Havana Club, a popular rum created in 1935 by a Cuban family who eventually fled the Castro revolution. Bacardi used the recipe and name for a rum it distilled in Puerto Rico”

So that is different rum than rum from Cuba, Right?
But do they still sell USA Bacardi white rum here in the states?

I just opened that USA Bacardi white rum and did a side by side taste test of these two rums
seen below.
Don't know if this is the same recipe sold to Bacardi as this Havana Club rum shown here.
I can tell you this these are not the same rum, and The real Havana Club rum is much better
(The real Havana Club rum Seen right photo)
I'm no expert but this is my call, the USA Bacardi white rum (left) had a burn where as the real Havana Club rum was more smooth.

Now these are white rums so I never felt a taste test was a thing I would do for a white
booze as there is not much to them most times.
Guess I should know better as I've had many moonshines in my time and they are all very different.

That's what I dislike about these articles that come out by some writer who is just trying to
crank out a story on something he or she cares/knows very little about.

I'll bet Troy Patterson loves Hennessy and Coke. (old Bar owner joke)
Or maybe a fine Designer vodka.
