Havana Club
Havana Club (Spanish: Club Habana) is a brand of rum created in Cuba in 1934. Originally produced in Cárdenas, Cuba, by family-owned José Arechabala S.A., the brand was nationalized after the Cuban Revolution of 1959. In 1993, French-owned Pernod Ricard and the government of Cuba created a state-run 50:50 joint venture called Corporación Cuba Ron. They began exporting this version of Havana Club globally, except for the United States due to the U.S. embargo.
Bacardi, another Cuban family that had left Cuba after the Cuban Revolution, having purchased the original Arechabala family Havana Club recipe, also began producing Havana Club Rum in 1994, a competing product made in Puerto Rico and sold in the United States.
Bacardi and Pernod Ricard have engaged in ongoing litigation about ownership of the name "Havana Club".
