Havana Club 7-Year Rum is distilled from fermented molasses and aged in charred white oak barrels for seven years.
Havana Club rum is still made in Cuba - where the company was founded by José Arechabala in 1878 and then nationalized in 1959 after the Cuban Revolution. Havana Club is now jointly owned by Pernod Ricard and the Cuban government.

A decent age Cuban rum, with the typical notes you'd expect. If done well here you can sip it or mix it and won't be disappointed
When you need a rum to sip or to mix the perfect Cubs Libre, this could be your rum.

(nästan?) Helt torr. Stora toner av läder och tobak. Även smak av torkad frukt. Förväntade mig sötare från Cuba, men blev positivt överraskad.

I’ve heard great things but this let me down a little. Wonderful color, nose has notes of fruit, spice, pepper, and oak. The taste is very similar to the nose, with a lot of peppery notes. The after taste is sweet with oak notes. The peppery tones is what brings this down for me.

Tento rum jsem ochutnal na společenské hudební akci díky pozvání mého slovenského přítele Libora a jeho ženy Janky. Nikdo by tento výborný rum neměl podceňovat a i když v současné době v České republice panuje mánie po Foursquare rumech, já tento rum ochutnal moc rád a jistě se k němu v brzké době vrátím v podobě zakoupení celé láhve. Chuť jemná, delikátní a cítím v ní kubánské slunce.

Not really enjoyed it as a sipper, and when it comes to mixing I would definitely go for Goslings Black Seal instead.

This was quite dry but smooth. Almost whisky like to my taste. Great in corn and oil but probably not worth the expense if you just mix it.

On my last international trip, I brought back 2 bottles of rum: Havana Club Selección [de Maestros], and Havana Club 7. The latter was a last-minute impulse buy at the duty-free, based on my impressions of having tried it earlier and being able to carry another bottle home. And let me tell you, I am so glad I got it.
At ~$40–50, Selección is a quality sipping rum and worth every penny. At ~$20, HC7 is a rum you can mix with every day without breaking the bank. Around the world it's just another rum; not bottom shelf, but nothing too special, either. But here in the US, I would argue, it is among the very best rum you can buy for the price (which, unfortunately, we still must do outside the US).
The nose hints at alcohol, but it's subtle. Woody and rummy. The flavor is rich—a dry expression of tobacco and oak, with a balanced burn. Yes, it is amazing in Coke, but it's also very good neat (perhaps with a cigar that's not too fancy). In cocktails, it's almost more like a super-dry Demerara (!) than a typical "Spanish-style gold" rum, which I tend to find lackluster, and offer a lighter, smoother, sweeter, more caramel/vanilla-forward flavor profile. HC7 is full-bodied, interesting, and (again) delicious. To each their own.
I may need to make a point to return with a bottle of this after every international trip...
