Havana Club 7-Year

This is the one I drink when I have exhausted my other bottles.
It's perfectly acceptable, though I find it can be a little too treacle and bourbon.
Still, it's cheap and you can get it in just about any supermarket, so...

I have gone back and forth on buying this. It's a bit pricey for a mixer, but it's better than the Flor de Cana 5 year, for example, which is crap by itself, but fine in stuff. Light body, pretty dry (most of the Havana Club stuff is not that sweet), a bitter on the after taste. Profile is mostly tobacco and cinnamon.

Comparing other Cuban rums, I see HC7 as a leader.
Continiuous aging helps to develop nice flavours as tobaco, heavily roasted coffee and bitter - sweet molasses.
I like to drink it neat or make a old fashioned when at a party.
Tastes good and not too hard to understand.

The best value rum you can drink straight up.
Moderatery rich taste and smokey flavor, well sweet.
Certainly not the best rum in the world, but will be suitable for not only rum biginners but all traditional rum drinker, I think.

Dobry do picia na lodzie, z colą, ostatecznie nawet sam. Cena w Polsce około 90 PLN za butelkę 0,7. Uważam że warto

This rum has very hard position in Havana family - It is in the middle between brilliant Selection de Maestros on one side and cheap but tasty Anejo Especial on the other one. So if you buy 7yo, you pay 50% more than for Anejo Especial, but you dont get 50% quality increase. Or, you pay 75% of Selection de Maestros price, but again, you dont get 75% of its quality. And this is the biggest problem of Havana 7yo. If you want quality, you go for Maestros. If you want cheap and tasty, you go for Anejo Especial. But its at least worth trying.

Bottle: I like this black design they made for 7yo. Its prettier than Anejo Especial even though its smaller.

Color: You might think that it will be dark rum, but thats wrong. The color is simillar to Anejo Especial.

Smell: It smells like leather and tobacco. Also some alcoholic smell. And maybe a bit of peat or turf.

Taste: Tasted on room temperature. In first try a lot of alcoholic taste, but after leaving my glass breathing for a minute, it became much better. Some tobacco taste, a lot of wood, some leather. I will give it a try on rocks.

Well, this rum is not bad, it is just the unwanted middle brother. for there are much better rums in its price category and both his closest siblings offers something more.

Underated. Buy this one if you have the opportunity, you won't be disappointed

Un pic mai bun ca cel de 6 ani, ies niște prăjituri excelente! :))))

Solider Rum ohne geschmackliche Extravaganten. Typisch Cuba

Time for Birka’s rumcruise 2019 at the Baltic Sea. This was one of the rums that were included at Ian Burrell’s Master class, “Blindtest”. We tested it neat and I had some problems to distinguish it from the Abuelo 12, but got it right.
I don’t think I will drink this neat again, but it’s a nice mixer rum when you want a dark one.
Picture: Brands included at the blindtest.

Widely available. Not a bad choice, if nothing better is around. Still... Rather choose a pub, where Mount Gay XO and such are on the menu

Got a bottle as a gift. Was a nice surprise when i tasted it. Not overly sweet but a distinct nice flavour to it. Good for sipping.

Not the same as U.S. produced Havana Club. If you don't know the story, look it up! A somewhat rough low end rum.

This is simply a classic, very smooth rum. There are no complex over bearing flavors or notes. A simple oaky, smooth, rum flavor follows through and lasts until the next sip. The attraction to this rum? The smooth, burnless finish and classic unaltered rum taste.

If you are a rum drinker, you must have had the Havana Club 7. As someone said in another review, it is a flagship among rums. And it should be considered so, as it has been around for tens of years. But not without reason. The distinctive Havana Club flavor, the smokey aroma, make it a mature rum, which you can enjoy with an ice cube a a slice of orange, while smoking a cigar.

In my it holds a high position in the mid-range rum class, and it definitely didn't get there by mistake. I would buy this again and again, without regret.

Just try it, there's no losing with it for how much it costs.

Tabaco flavour. Not very sweet. Small finish. Prety descent.

My taste buds are becoming more accustomed to the 7 year

this is classic cuban rum, is ok for many situations.
But if you are looking for something special, this rum will disappoint you...

This rum is a great choice when you need to balance price and quality. Good enough to stand on it's own and fantastic in cocktails. One of my favorites to keep on hand.

This rum can hold its own as a sipper neat or on the rocks, in a cocktail or as a base for a mixer. I do prefer it on the rocks. Beautiful earthy flavours and a sweet but tangy finish. Overall 7/10

As stated by other, it has a tobacco note and it's a bit stingy. Not my type of sipper but a favourite mixer.

Taste is flat and poor. Wilk be Good for mixing but price is to high.

Strong, tobacco smell that defined Cuban rums for me. Good with Coke, but less flexible than the Anejo Especial. If you want a bold Cuban, try this; but for a good Cuban mixer, the cheaper Anejo Especial gets my vote.

Just a good rum. I'm mixing it often with "cassis", a dutch soda drink with sweet blackberry's.
