Hi David, Bacardi is known around the world but the real local rum is Don Q is the one that all locals drink . Bacardi has a plant in PR but is a Cuban Rum that after the revolution in Cuba was establish in PR. You can find Bacardi in the states but if you really want to taste puertorrican RUM buy some DON Q. Is made by Destileria Serralles, the factory is in Ponce that is in the south part of the big island (PR). They started in 1895 making the rum. You can visit www.destileriaserralles.com in there you can find more info about their history and their products. They also manufacture other rum brands as Ron AƱejo, Ron Palo Viejo, Ron Granado, Ron Llave, Ron Rico. Don Q comes in Don Q Cristal (white ), Don Q Oro (yellow), Don Q Limon (with lime) and the launched resently two or three other flavors. My favorite is Don Q Cristal. Have fun in Culebra!
