Havana Club Selección de Maestros

Enjoyed this. At first,I felt it to be quite average but then realised it was moreish. Needs a mixer but still good neat and on ice.

My first 'proper' rum that got me into rums. Tasty, but learnt that although it is good there is better at a similar price point.

At first, the alcohol burn slams into you, but it mellows nicely with a little ice or water. Sippable, but it mixed AMAZINGLY with iced coffee.

The nose contains typical cuban components - wood and tobacco, accompanied by a hint of cocoa and fruity tones of peaches, apricots and orange peel. The taste copies the nose, in all the components, starts spicy and smooths out towards the end with some sweetness in it, the aftertaste is spicy and dry wood, cocoa with orange peel, which again turns sweet and leaves some sweetness on the palate. I would guess a tiny amount of sugar has been added, less than 10 gpl. Could not wait to share the thoughts, the bottle is still open, the score might change, upwards I guess.

very dry rum, caramel, tobacco, good with a Cuban cigar, i don t approve that i can t find
age specification for this stuff, what kind of barrels used and so...
interesting to try along with their Havana Club 7 that have additives, just to see
the difference of a genuine and an adulterated product, same brand

Ok so its like a zafra 21 with a punch. Solid sipping rum, tastes of quality sweetness, but not too sweet.

Aroma is nice woody with some vanilla. Taste is dry, but smoot wit again oak, leather and slight vanilla. Aftertase is a bit bitter with smoked tones. Fair aged rum from Cuba.

I always enjoy Cuban craftsmanship. And here maestros roneros made a perfection. One of my favorites.

Its dry enough so we could confuse with young cognac in blind test. You can feel oak, pepper, dry fruits with delicate nuances in developing. The main advantage is soft warming in the chest.

Tato havana je moje presna hrana. O trochu palcivejsi bych uz nevypil. Pres vyšší % překvapivě jemné pití. Da se bez zapiti.
