Product description
The Havana Club brand was created in Cuba in 1934. Rums of this brand were produced by the family company José Arechabala SA. Havana Club rums were sold in Cuba and exported to the USA.
After the Cuban Revolution, the Arechabala family was forced to emigrate in 1960, and the brand itself was nationalized. In 1972, attempts were made to reactivate the brand, focusing on the Soviet and Eastern European markets. In 1993, the Cuban government began cooperation with the French company Pernod Ricard and established Corporación Cuba Ron, in which both parties have equal shares. Meanwhile, the competing company, Bacardi, having purchased the original recipe for Havana Club rum from the Arechabala family, also began producing rum under the same brand in 1994. Bacardi products were intended for the American market, which had been closed to Cuban products since the Cuban revolution. There is an ongoing legal battle over the rights to the brand, which does not prevent its products from conquering world markets and the hearts of rum lovers.
