Havana Club 7-Year

Fell in love with this in Mexico while drinking Cuba libres. Much like the Bacardi Solera, it has a great taste when mixed with coke, but not medicinal. Very mellow flavor!

I picked this rum up several years ago as I wanted to give it a try, it had a rather acrid taste, tried it again recently at a friends place and came away with the same conclusion.

I personally am not sure how to drink it. Pure it's not really good tasting. To harsh and overpowering spiced. Mixed with coke i think the anejo especial is better tasting. The spicing overpowerd even the coke

This is the rum that the average-guy has the box and/or empty bottle on the shelf.
In Italy "Coca e Havana" (which is only with Havana7) is something like a recognized upgrade to a standard Cuba Libre (that should be made with white rum and lime juice, but don't investigate too much).
Widely available in every supermarket, i believe this is a good choice, i find it a nice on the rocks rum, good for an Old Fashioned twist and acceptable neat.
Don't be too hipster, this is a great classic that shoud stay in every liquor cabinet, unless you upgrade it with better similar (but less iconic) rums.

This is the point where i started to be passionate about rum - very good example to introduce others to rum

Para subir de nivel a un buen Cuba libre... Este es el indicado

Havana club is a great affordable rum from Cuba. I enjoy it with cola.
CHEERS!

Absolutely fantastic rum. I first tried it about 2 weeks ago and I've been hooked ever since. I can't wait to pair this with some cigars that I have resting in my humidor.

Love this mixed with coke, but can also be sipped even if not as smooth as others. Some great depth of flavour even when mixed with great caramel flavours coming out. A classic really.

Qua smaak niet slecht , lekker met cola............
