Hi am Cuban and that phrase can be used in multiple situations in this case they are highlighting the quality of that rum
Robert Dunn (asker) Oct 29, 2019:
Cuando probaron el Blanco, dijeron, textualmente “¿Hasta dónde vamos a llegar en el mundo de los Blancos? Esto está escapado”.

Esto es una frase cubana ***** “Hasta dónde vamos a llegar porque ya tenemos el extravío”.***

Y la otra es “¿Y esto qué cosa es?”.

Asker Please post a couple of sentences before and after this so we can get more of the flavour here (of the rum!)

How far are we gonna get (with this white)...

In this case is literal what they mean. They want to know how far they will go with the quality of this rum.
