Havana Club Anejo Reserva

Its a good rum for the cubas libres, but I could be a better rum.

One of the best for everyday cocktails. Still enjoy it

Nope, this need serious improvement.
But still hopefull.
Too bitter and less taste for my kind.

The best mixer of all the Havana range. Had an xMas party and we had this, the 7, especial, ritual and barrel proof. The Reserva is the one the we all went back to and was finished off in no time. Crazy cheap in Cuba as well at about £4 a bottle. Not a great sipper which is why it probably scores low on here but there's nothing better than this with a splash of cola.

Nice dark rum for cocktails or even as a ”shot” Price difference to 7 years old is so small that I would rather got for the 7.

Not for sipping, but makes a very addition to a punch or mixed with ginger ale

This is a decent mixer and perfect for Coke and a slice of lime over ice.

Like its 3 years brother this one this one shines as a mixing rum. If you sip it you will notice complex tastes. Its not too spicy.

Sugar: 0 to 5 gpl. Strong oak taste and heat. Not smooth at all. Works okay as a mixer, but definitely not a sipping rum. There are better Cuban Rums available.

The point with all the Havana's I tried is that I love them in a Rum Coke, but they don't make me feel happy sipping them. This one is also good for the mix and nothing more than that.

A good rum, and a step up or two from Captain Morgan.

This rum is nice as a companion to a cerveza or as a mixer. Better than the similar offering in Canada from Appleton, Captain Morgan and Bacardi.

HANAVA CLUB ANEJO RESERVA

Zapach: kawa rozpuszczalna, palony karmel, melasa, wyraźna beczka, nuty kakao, alkohol dość dobrze ukryty. Smak: Wyraźna beczka oraz nuty palonego karmelu, zioła, wanilia, rodzynki, suszone figi, w tle pałęta się coś na kształt syropu na kaszel dla dzieci. Smak jest lekko słodki oraz bywa miejscami ciężkawy. Alkohol tak jak w zapachu dobrze ukryty.

Od mojej pierwszej styczności z tym rumem, a dokładniej na na Kubie w 2016 do dziś minęło około 3 lata. W tym czasie nie udało mi się na jego natrafić w żadnym polskim sklepie, za granicą również aż do momentu małego urlopu w Grecji. Podobno jest dostępny w czechach gdzie dość często bywam ale niestety nie udało mi się go trafić. Z mojej strony wysoka ocena ze względu na stosunek jakości do ceny - tutaj nie czujemy młodości oraz nut alkoholowych, nie jest to też podkolorowany Anejo Especial od tego samego producenta który charakteryzuje się niską dojrzałością. Mocne 79/100.

just mix it with coca cola a slice of lemon and lets party.

Very good rum, too bad we can’t buy it in the USA, but can bring it back from other countries now thankfully. Just a good sipping rum, but certainly not worth all the hype!

This used to be my standard "utilitarian" rum. There was always a bottle on hand in my house. Then, about a year ago, it disappeared from my local stores for about 4 months. When it finally returned I was very excited to see my old faithful friend back in the cabinet. Sadly, something had gone horribly wrong in those short months and, for the first time ever, I returned a bottle of rum. Maybe someday I'll try again.

Always with cola or in a cocktail. Nose was more alcohol. Too bitter. Missing much to be a good rum

The bottle I was served at the Tropicana Cabernet was the best I've ever had in the price range. The bottle I bought at a store my tour guide promised me was a government store (which she later admitted paid her for bringing in tourists) was the worst I had ever paid that much for.

This entry is not really for drinking neat, but to add to cocktails and rum drinks. The smooth flavor is starting to get there, but the flavors are just floating around and the complexity is somewhat lacking causing the rum to not have a voice or a niche.
Heat from the oak and the alcohol, combined with the fact that this rum doesn’t really have a distinction or character that truly describes it.
Good to have in your bar as it is cheap. If you can find it and buy it, what the heck...get it, especially if your in the States. We can’t get Cuban Rums here only if we get it in the Caribbean, other countries, Cuba, on cruise ships, planes, or have friend buy you bottles when the go someplace that sells Cuban rums or Cigars.

In giro c’é di meglio ma anche di molto molto peggio

Good for your simple and better cocktails. Not so suitable for a single drink.

Not sweet. Full flavor. My favourite Havana Club .

I expected more from this rum in this awkward bottle. But the content turned out to be equal to the form. Dull taste and bitter aftertaste ruined the whole impression. If you want a Havana rum club, better buy Especial or 3 year old.

P.S. The description says that this rum was not originally intended for the public, but reserved for Don Navarro. Apparently Mr. Navarro tried this rum and agreed with me about his taste. Rum poured into hastily made beer bottles and thrown into the market.

I last had a bottle in 2012, while on vacation in Zakhyntos - Greece. Unfortunately, I can't find it anymore, everyone just sells the 3, 5 and 7s.

I was surprised by the blend of flavors, and a slight touch of sugar. It's smooth and if you add some coke and lime, or some red orange juice, you won't get enough of it.
