Never heard of it before. I see some of the other products from Destileria Huasteco Potosi won some medals in Tampa this year. The company in Mexico that distributes it is San Emeterio (http://www.sanemeterio.com/main.htm). Macondo Imports of Pittsburgh, Pa., is listed as the USA distributor. Macondo's website has been under construction since October, 2007. It is possible to find their telephone number though.

I may be mistaken on the price. I think this quote was in pesos. This rum may be more like $17.19. The peso is running about 10.76 per dollar.

The bottle looks interesting, sort of like a cross combination between Drambuie, Admiral Rodney and Barcelo Imperial. :D

Btw, where did you get that image? Presspack?

That would be about right. I saw it listed on a Mexican wine vendor site for just over 1,000 pesos for six bottles.

Good picture Robert! I just got back from Cancun and brought back everthing wet with a rum smell. The largest and best store there is La Europa and they did not have this available. Casa Bacardi reserve 8 year in similar bottle was only $19.00 Look forward to making one of your Miami tastings.you rock.gif

Well not exactly.
i have had Ron Potosi Aсejo (http://www.hitimewine.net/istar.asp?a=6&id=167149!4045), i think it is from the same 'house', but this is an younger iteration. It is 'ok'; smelled nice-- dark sugar, carmelized honey-- and then it tries to carry through on the palate, but abruptly drops off at mid-palate leaving expectations dashed, and then finishing with boozey warmth-- not unpleasant at all, but not my idea of a $20 rum. It would make a nice Hot Buttered Rum, or a good (dirty) Snow White Cocktail.
