I've been looking for Cana Brava for a long time ... haven't found it yet in stores. Legendary Don Pancho, the former Havana Club rum master, helped create that.

Don Pancho's own line of rums from Panama called Origines recently hit the market. The premium sipping rums are a little pricey, but I got a taste at the Miami Rum Fest. Great stuff.

Here's an interesting article that quotes Don Pancho about the secrets of Cuban rum, along with the author's quest for Havana Club in NYC, plus info on a few more rums that evoke the same style.
