Havana Club 3-Year

Havana Club yellow label was the first rum i've tried. It seemed good to me. It has right rum's favour and taste. It hadn't harsh like the others and could be even drinked neat. Classic cockails with this rum (Daiquiri, Mojito, El Presidente of couse and my favorite - Hemingway Special) came out excellent. It is cheap (around 23$/L) and wide available in the shops. Here, in Russia we can buy only 3 kind of rums: Bacardi, CapMorgan and Havana Club :( Among them, at least, Havana is the best. I've also tried some domican rums and the others, but can't find better (yet!)
Ну а для наших добавлю, что из-за мягко говоря хреновой ситуации с ромами в нашей стране, этот пока остаётся №1 не только из-за цены/качества, но и сам по себе. И если другие ромы пахнут или ничем или спиртом, то этот - травой и тростником! В отличии от всяких "Бакардосов" и проч. у него правильный вкус и аромат, из-за чего его даже возможно употреблять в чистом виде, а значит и коктейли из него получатся великолепными!

It has a pleasant smell and great taste, but it works better in cocktails.

It actually taste better than expected alone, very fruity. But for its quality and price it is clearly your rum for coktails only.

So, I tried worse but this is bad enough to not recommend to drink.

Nothing special, usually blended in cocktails..... A simple commercial rum

A rum that exists for one particular purpose. Definitely nostalgic

Just an average rum, for your everyday drink. great if you want to make mojitos

great mixer and good for shots as vodka alternative, not quite sipper

Pour les cocktails lorsqu’on n'a rien d'autre sous la main... Conseillé à ceux qui n'aiment pas le rhum.

Good for mixing, bit softer taste than the blanco but still not for sipping
