In the 60 minutes piece they mention that one of the key arguments that Bacardi makes is that Pernod Ricard is partnering with the Cuban government, who confiscated the assets of the Arechabala family (mainly the distillery as they say the recipe was still in the Arechabala family). Pernod Ricard say that they use a distillery that was built in 2007. Per the info above, Santiago de Cuba is using the confiscated distillery. Lots of semantics there as both try to take the high moral ground. I really need to plan a trip to Cuba while I still can. Who knows what will happen with the US - Cuba relations over the next few years. Rick
