Selección de Maestros surely is no rhum for everyday. But which Cuban Rhum is it? Due to limitations of innovation and technical improvement over past decades the rhum is characterized by the typical dry taste of Cuban rhums.
This edition of Havanna Club is strong in taste, starts with a punch at first but gets followed by a long-lasting intensive taste of Wood, citrus and leather. I love this rhum and when I had enjoyed a special dinner it's the right choice to finish the evening with a cigar!
During the week I prefer others, easier rhums ...

I got this one as b-day present from my colleagues. I really enjoy that bottle. Great full flavor, very smooth, just at right level of sweetness. So easy to sip that I finished bottle sooner than I would like :)

No bad, but you can find much better rums in this price range

Kubánsky rum v o.k. fľaši s modrou etiketou...=) to sa len tak nevidí. Má peknú jantárovú až mahagónovú farbi. Po naliatí typická kubánska vôňa, dominuje kakao, tabak, snáď orechy. Zacítil som aj hrozienka, rum má skôr ťažšiu, zemitejšu arómu. Chuť celkom kopíruje aromatické vnemy, je veľmi dobre vyvážený, komplexný, neskôr je zemitý, v dlhšom závere je cítiť aj drevo. Rum je stáčaný do fliaš priamo zo sudov, preto nesie aj označenie "barrel proof". Povedal by som, že tento suchší rum je skôr pre skúsenejšieho rumového degustátora...slušná práca maestrov ronerov...je to dobrý rum, ale nie pre každého.
Truly rich in taste and flavours...I always start thirsty and within few weeks a slow down as the bottle is getting more and more empty. This is a perfect rum for gift(it comes in a stylish packaging), dinners, etc.

This rum is unusual to me. Although it has a lightly strong alcohol taste (45%) the flavour is very well balanced, don't know if smooth is the right word here as alcohol presence still hits hards. It tastes a bit fresh with lot of wood (typically Havana Club I would say), a bit of leather and much more probably I can't describe, not sweet at all, very dry. The first glass surprises as it is really interesting, but it is difficult to drink a second one immediately after it, you get enough of it very soon too. Does not make a good mixer and for the price I would not recommend that. I have divided feelings about this rum: I like it and don't at the same time.

Was given to me as a gift from a very popular rum aficionado. My only previous experience with Cuban rum was Havana Club Anejo Especial which I found had a strong tobacco taste. This one is quite different. Somewhat strong smell, but with a no excuses flair. Still quite a bite, but much smoother than the Anejo. Not too much sweetness, and still a taste of tobacco but much lighter. It has a bit of a burn, but not too strong. Overall a nice addition to the collection.
Only just getting into rum and most certainly not an expert in any ways but I would say its a very good effort. I have had my share of rums over the years and I found Selection de maestro to be very smooth. I tend to find common rums to be enjoyable when mixed but on its own they can be a bit too sharp for me. Nothing special and relatively high in price but I would recommend it. Bottle looks nice, accompanying canister doesn't add value for me at all.
It has sweet cherry undertones, deep golden almost brown colours and will stay with you till the next time you can find it. Rare as Bigfoot this one, I've only found it in one bar and the proprietor used to travel to Cuba for a month every year so knows his rum. Expensive but worth it.

Rum with an attitude

Насколько я понял, правильно пить его следующим образом: во-первых, дать подышать минут 10-15, во вторых - добавить немного прохладной воды, чтобы градус опустился до 38-40%, тогда вкус и аромат раскрываются по-полной и ром становится по-настоящему питким. В целом, он скорее терпкий, чем сладкий. Аромат яркий и насыщенный: фрукты - слива и вишня - перемежаются с кожей и табаком. Сложный аромат, требующий времени, чтобы распознать все его оттенки. Вкус смягчается и раскрывается после добавления воды. Нотки табака и дерева, немного цитрусовых, жжёного сахара и шоколада на заднем плане. Послевкусие интересное - дуб, ваниль и слабеющие фруктовые оттенки - остаётся после того, как исчезает спиртовое жжение (а оно, увы, присутствует даже в разбавленном варианте), со временем сменяется солёным шоколадом.
Если не добавлять воду, спиртяга перекрывает все остальные компоненты.
Великолепный цвет - благородное красное дерево - к сожалению, теряется при добавлении воды, но на эту жертву приходится идти.
Это не ром на каждый день, и не ром для весёлых посиделок в компании с друзьями, это ром для уединённого отдыха с соблюдением всех необходимых для его питья процедур.
В целом ром очень хороший, но цена его завышена.
As far as I understand, the right way to drink this rum is as follows: first, let it breathe for 10-15 minutes, second, add a little water to reduce alcohol percentage to 38-40%, it will make taste and aroma reveal themselves and make this rum significally smoother. Generally speaking, it's more harsh than sweet. Aroma is rich and strong: plum and cherry are present as well as tobacco and leather. Aroma is complicated and it takes time to fully sense it. Taste becomes mild and exposes itself after adding some water. Wood and tobacco notes, some citrus, burnt sugar and chocolate in the background. Aftertaste is iteresting: oak, vanilla and diminishing fruit overtones stay after the disappearing of spirit harshness (unfortunately, it's still present even after adding water) and are smoothly replaced by saulty chocolate.
Without water spirit harshness burns everything out.
Colour is beautiful - noble mahogany, but sadly it's lost after adding water. You have to make this sacrifice tho.
It's not an everyday rum and it's not a party rum, this rum is for a quiet private rest in complience with all it's drinking rules.
A nice rum afterall, but overpriced.
