Havana Club's 'Seleccion de Maestros' replaces the Cuban Barrel Proof product with new packaging, however, it's reputedly the same rum.

As Dave Russell from www.rumgallery.com points out, Australians should feel privileged to have access to the fine Rums of Cuba. "US relations with Cuba is easing slightly, but more change is needed to end the stalemate of the past half-century, that prevents Americans from traveling freely to Cuba or even purchasing Cuban rum in the States. Most American rum lovers just don’t know what they’re missing. One sip, and you’ll understand why Havana Club Cuban Barrel Proof is one of the leading brands in the Caribbean and Europe. Travel to the Caribbean or Europe and have someone treat you to Havana Club rum, particularly the fine Cuban Barrel Proof. Trust me, you won’t turn commie, but you will gain an appreciation for the true taste of traditional Cuban rum craftsmanship. Just don’t bring any home - yet!

"Havana Club’s Maestro Don José P. Navarro Campa starts with delicate light, sipping rums aged in extra-old white oak barrels to impart an amber hue and smoothness, then combines them with more complex aged rums. RnD suspect’s it is at this stage the “barrel proof” is also established. The final blend is rested in specially selected finishing casks that breathe new life into the old rum, giving it character and added complexity. According to the distiller, the final product is “bottled straight from the cask.”
