Bacardis battle to feature on 60 Minutes

Bacardi’s battle to feature on 60 Minutes

A decades-long rum war between the Communist Cuban government and Bermudian-based drinks giant Bacardi is to feature on a top US TV news show.

CBS current affairs flagship 60 Minutes will on Sunday examine the fight for control of the Havana Club brand name — which has been running since Fidel Castro seized power in Cuba in 1959 — in a segment called “The Rum War”.

The show’s Sharyn Alfonsi visited Cuba to examine the roots of the row, which is still the subject of long-running legal battles in the US.

In a trailer for the segment, Ms Alfonsi said: “It’s complicated — you need to pull up a seat and make yourself comfortable to try and figure it out.”

No comparison... I spend quite a bit of time in Spain and could blind taste tell you which is which. Makes the best drinks - even your basic Cuba libre...
