It's a really good aged rum - very nice for sipping straight. In the big picture, though, it's no better than Mount Gay Extra Old or El Dorado 15. I can get either of those easily at local shops.
1959 was a long time ago; the rest of the world hasn't been standing still waiting for the Cubans to come to their senses.
I rarely drink rum, I am more of a Bourbon drinker.
But if I do drink rum I drink capitalist Rum.
