Travelers may be able to bring small amounts of liquor home
the market.
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-

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.
Bacardi said it’s waiting to see
what effects thawing U.S.-Cuba
relations may have.
In 1997, Bacardi bought the
legal rights to the recipe and
name of Havana Club, a popular
rum created in 1935 by a Cuban
Castro revolution. Bacardi used

Coming soon to US: Cuba Libre, with real Cuban rum
MIAMI (AP) —

cionados are abuzz over the
possibility of mixing a Cuba
Libre with authentic Cuban
rum, now that they will be able
to bring home liquor distilled
in the communist nation.
Relaxed limits on what li-
censed U.S. travelers can bring
home mean that Americans will
be able to enjoy small quantities
of the liquor at home. But, with
the embargo still in place, the

the recipe and name for a rum it
distilled in Puerto Rico.
But the name would become
tangled in a long-running U.S.
wine and spirits maker Pernod
Ricard.
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

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.
Today, Bacardi’s Havana
Club, still distilled in Puerto
Rico, is an exclusive, hard-

rum worldwide each year. The
trickle of bottles that will soon
come home in travelers’ lug-
gage won’t offer much compe-
tition. Still, the new policy is
an encouraging sign for Cuban
distillers, said Robert A. Burr,
founder of the Miami Rum Re-
“It’s not a green light yet,
but it’s a light at the end of the
tunnel, the beginning of the end
of this invisibility” in the U.S.
marketplace, Burr said.
Licensed U.S. travelers to
Cuba will be able to bring home
merchandise worth up to $400,
of which $100 can be spent on
alcohol and tobacco products
combined.
