Havana Club Ritual Cubano

Pure alcohol, absolutely nothing else. Just simply awful "rum". I have zero interest to try this ever again.

Ritual is an amazing rum for the price you pay, it is not sold in stores in the USA, for about 7 dollars you really could not ask for anything better, at only 37.5% it is super smooth ans easy to drink.

I am a Havana Club fan, but this is just bad from all points of view, starting from the design of the bottle, artificial color, and strong industrial alcohol taste. I had a sip and spit it out. Can't drink it, I wouldn't even use it as a mixer. I paid 13 euros for the bottle. I wouldn't drink this again even if it was free. For a few more euros there's several good options, like the Brugal Extra Viejo, which is in a another league compared to the Ritual.

This rum is so sweet that the rum taste is practically non-existant. Not enjoyable at all.

Sugar: 20-25 GPL. This is a sweet rum with a fair amount of alcohol in the aroma, but the sweetness factor combined with the almond taste brings it closer to a liqueur than a rum. It's smooth at first with a bit of a spicey burn on the exit. It's too sweet to mix with coke. It's okay with ice and if you like Amaretto then this will do in a pinch.

It 's probably not the rum you can enjoy in pure form. A drink to grind - yes, add to the cocktail - is excellent. Roll in a sniffter - no

just to pour in to the coke.a mixer and there are better.

I think this is intended as a mixer, albeit it is drinkable with ice. It does not taste like a typical cuban rum.

Smooth with just a slight bite. Pairs well with soda or alone on the rocks.

Caramelfudge and booze. Nothing really great about but sweet initially

Nose reveals sweet vanilla, caramel and ripe fruits. These are also the notes dominating the palate which is initially very mild. 2nd sip adds some little spiciness, notes of pepper. Finish is short with notes of toffee and cinnamon. Overall a very mild rum, the notes mentioned are all on a light scale; this rum has a rather cheap price level.

Nothing special about this rum. Just ok and 37 %abv too light.

There really isn’t a bad thing I can say about any of the Havana Clubs.
From the bartender in Havana he described this as their version of a spiced rum. I don’t think it is that spicy but a great mixer and of course not available in Canada or the US. So I have to get it when I go and I have to make it last till I go back which where the problem lies. I don’t get to go as often as I like....

Rum that exceeds quality expected for its price. On the nose feels like a cheap spirit, very alcoholic. When mixed with cola its makes a great drink, little bit sweeter than the standar HC lineup. Highly recommendable.

Dolce, leggerino, un po' troppo "esca per turisti", ma tutto sommato gradevole

I can not belive that it give persons who say this rum is awfull... with ice cubes and a cigar it is perfect...very cheap for this good Quality... smooth and very light..(not like other HC)

To sweet, not strong like other HClub. So disapear when you mix it and only taste Sugary. So dont be shy to mix with other alcool to.

Im a rum and water man.
Its got a bit of a aftertaste bite like Bundaberg, but much superior smoothness.
I enjoyed, but wouldnt buy it again as Appletons is smoother without the aftertaste, and better yet in NZ is Stolen Gold, and best Pussers Dark. These are all economic good buys in NZ.

I like sipping this rum when having a cigar with a good friend. With an ice cube it really seems to cool the mouth and I enjoy the cigar tasting much more. Its lower proof may play a part in that as well.

Nothing to crazy here. This rum is a good mix for me for my home made coacktails. But it will hit you and get you snoring for the night if it catches you sleeping.

Középszerű kicsit nyers rum lenne, de jól kufárkodtak az édességgel és az alkoholfokkal. Nem dől össze a világ, ha félúton elfogy a kóla, magában is jól iható.

This is the Lady of Rhums . Elegant,smooth,clever,magic. A Ritual to serve it. 1st - open the bottle. 2- pour a long drip behind a door or a corner( primero los santos) 3- you would need a brandy cup. 4- pour in 1/4 of the cup. 5- hold the cup in your hand for exactly 3 minutes curculing slowly to get it warm from your hand. 6- a good sniff. 7- sip it completely .. lick your lips and repite it. That's how you treat a Lady.
