Habana Club 15 years Reserva,,,now you are talking..!]]>Oct 15th 2010 1:42AMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/10/14/bacardi-introduces-reserva-limitada-founders-blend-rum/http://www.luxist.com/2010/10/14/bacardi-introduces-reserva-limitada-founders-blend-rum/
I don't see a point to say, that THE BEST sugar cane comes from Cuba. Whats about Guatemala? Whats about Guyana, Jamaica or Bermudas? Not speaking of excellent Rhum Agricole which are even more dependent on the original sugar cane, as they are made of the juice, not of the molasses...

Yeah you might be right, if you say, that it is a marketing plot. The industry is full of it. Of course you cannot replicate the simpler and more robust methods from the past. On the other hand I guess, that rum was never better as today [I mean the good qualities].

Bacardi 8 is already very good - I know, geeks are always against Bacardi [as global player] - but like said - I am pretty convinced of the stuff. Not better as Havana Club 7 though -not worse... just different... a bit easier going...
I always asked myself, why Bacardi doesn't bring something more grand out. Well, guess my wishes were heard....

Though there is also a completely wrong titbit in the article: It is by no means a dark rum [which is young rums, which are just colored with molasses, burned sugar and / or caramel]!]]>Oct 18th 2010 1:31AM
