And it’s unclear what the news means for industry titan Bacardi, which was driven from its Cuba headquarters by the 1959 Castro revolu- tion. In the past, Bacardi has left the door open for a return to its homeland. But company representatives wouldn’t give details when asked Thursday what, if any, plans it has if the more than 50-year-old embar- go on Cuban goods ends, now that President Barack Obama is working to normalize rela- 14 | January 1, 2015 | coastweekend.com 2 3 4 5 6 tions with the country. “We hope for meaningful improvements in the lives of the Cuban people and will follow any changes with great interest,” the company said in a statement.

Pernod Ricard, in partner- ship with state-owned Cubaex- port, already had been selling Havana Club rum, distilled in Cuba, in other countries. Nearly 20 years of legal ar- guments followed. Ultimately, a court ruled that Bacardi would be allowed to continue selling its Havana Club in the U.S. In 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review that deci- sion, giving Bacardi’s Havana 119 85 98 108 114 126 84 93 102 107 125 83 92 101 122 118 74 79 97 100 67 73 82 96 60 66 78 90 69 54 59 65 81 95 120 58 77 80 68 49 53 72 76 18 34 48 57 62 17 41 52 56 61 16 30 40 51 55 29 33 39 44 50 15 25 32 36 14 22 27 35 13 21 31 76 79 82 84 86 87 88 90 92 9 103 109 104 110 115 111 116 123 117 124 127 130 93 ‘‘So much for that’’ 95 Hit TV series set in Las Vegas 96 High-school makeup test, for short? 101 Tapered off 103 Airport shuttle, maybe 106 Rats and gnats 107 What you might get by breaking 4-Down 108 0-100, e.g. 109 Classic example of corporate malfeasance American sales. To differentiate its rum — and anticipating an eventual lifting of the embargo — Per- nod Ricard then announced it had registered the brand name Havanista in the U.S. to some- day sell Cuban-distilled rum on American soil.
