Santiago de Cuba Anejo

Tradiční kubánský rum smíchaný ze směsi stařených rumů s relativně jemnou chutí.

I bought this one in Cuba in 2013. It was nothing special. To me the Havana line is much better than this.

Dette er en rom, der efter min mening, gør sig bedst som mixer-rom.

Er ikke til en sipper, men derimod til drinks.....

Note: I'm a sipper. My opinion is based on sipping characteristics.

It might be that I'm a New World guy but I have issues with most Cuban rums as well as with most Cuban cigars. To me, they are all brutally overrated and targeted mostly at the American consumer and with very little exceptions don't live up to their price. This was my third Cuban rum and it follows other two closely. On the rocks it's fine and actually tasty but having it neat is impossible. And frankly, stuffing ice so you can handle the drink is just wrong in my book and borderlining with trailer trash alcoholism, so I'd simply not have it again.

Nic zvláštního na trhu. Taková klasika pro popíjení o víkendových akcích či do míchaček.

....but still not my choice when I am on a budget. Scent is medium to light with a wiff of vanilla and taste starts off with some floral notes that are really nice but it all ends in too much (unrefined) oak. If I would get this in a dark glass and without knowing what I got in there I might even mistake it for a (cheap) bourbon. Drinkable but lacks the ease of a young cuban rum, balance is just so-so and overall not pleasant enough to sip on its own. And since I don't mix my spirits this is a onetime buy.

Something different from Havana Club. Will have a space in my heart as I reminisce on my trip. Use as a mixer if anything.

Jeez, this is not good, not even as a mixer. What a disappointment.

Very classic recipe- rum taste with pressence of alcohol ! Nothing special ...
