Havana Club Selección de Maestros

I first tried this rum at Ascot Racecourse and indeed I had to go back multiple times for more. This rum is very smooth and well aged. Definitely a high end rum.

As you would expect: soft but distinct smell of tobacco, grea also with Havana club's taste enhancers like honey, island fruit or coffee, check out their "bitter truth" choices

Had the last bit of the bottle at a friend's. Lovely!

Really pleasant........................................!

les sélections changent a tous les ans, ma cuvée est un peu sec a mon goût mais quand même excellent, pas un rhum a drink, a prendre avec un cigare cubain et sans glace évidemment...

My first “better” rum, which pleasantly surprised me and lured to find out more brands.

The bottle looks like a premium version of the standard Havana Club bottle, it has a quite thick glass botton and a stopper made of granulated cork with a plastic cap. However it feels not such premium as it seems to be intended for.
The rum has a brown/copper colour, a fruity and slightly sharp smell, combined with oak. Quite a clear, full flavour. Vanilla, oak and caramel, together with some harsh leathery flavours and ripe fruits. The sweetness is only subtle and not as present as in other aged rums, thus the alcohol is more present on the palate (which is 45% per sip). Finally, the taste somehow resembles that of aged cognacs.

Love this cuban rum especially mixed

One of the best rums I taset yet. Beautiful immperial style bottle, tasty rum, clear flavour. Great for enjoying in the summer evening with cigar

Compared to the other Havanna ages this one ist for me the only one you can drink in it's own. IT has a very smooth taste, rich flavour and ist Not top sweet.
