It’s good in a pinch. I prefer cruzan single barrel but this works if the liquor store is out of cruzan.

I found this rum to be thin and just plain awful. Artificial alcohol-like taste. Like someone added turpentine or rubbing alcohol to what this was MEANT to be. Made me sad this was actually labelled "rum". Anyone who likes it is welcome to have it.

As a stand alone, it is to much tobacco and smoke, but with cola it is not so bad

I like almost all cuban(styled) rums, but seldom do I love a cuban rum. But I do admire the Havana Club line-up, you can understand why it is so ubiquitous. They are solid, slightly masculine rums with bold flavours that are delivered quite harmoniously though. You will encounter liquorice, aniseed, tobacco, wood and leather in virtually any cuban rum, but in this rum they are even stronger. Therefore it is not for everybody. Personally I think the flavours are a little too condensed. I prefer the younger Anejo Especial which is a little bit more playful and vibrant. The rum tastes older than the label suggests. Maybe because - as I was told in Cuba - the Cubans base their age-statements on the youngest rum in the blend, meaning a "7 year old" Cuban can actually be older than a "23 year old" Solera-style rum.

Sugar 5 GPL. I tried this one at a tasting event and I was quite surprised. Great aroma and the taste is better than I expected in an economy rum. For tastes I found some wood, chocolate, caramel, and spice. Overall very smooth and no harsh aftertaste or burn.
Not to my liking for a sipping rum, but with an ice cube it could work. As far as a dark mixing rum, this is up there with the best. A rating of 7 is as high as I give for a mixing rum. Next time I need to replenish the mixing rum part of my bar, this will be on the list.

Another birthday gift from a friend, (I can see a pattern here) quite a nice rum but on its own it is a bit harsh but add a mixer and it's easier on the throat.

Muy rico con coca predomina el sabor del ron no del alcohol ni lo opaca ya tanto la cola.

Für mich ist dieser Rum pur nicht geniessbar, allerdings gemischt mit Cola und einer frischen Limette ergibt das den für mich "besten" Cuba Libre. Leider ist der Havana Club 7 für einen Mixrum etwas zu teuer, alternativ kann sein kleiner Bruder, der Havana Club Reserva oder der Pampero Especial für einen guten Cuba Libre verwendet werden.
