Mantiene sempre lo stile cubano ma molto più secco da mandare giù. Se si vuole provare qualcosa di più forte è l'ideale. Non per principianti o amanti del rum leggero-morbido.

Nice Cuban ron, has the tasting notes one expects. Has a short and slightly bitter aftertaste which prevents it from getting a higher score.

I like to compare cuban rums to havana club 7 as it is the most known one. This Cubay 10yo is so much smoother than hc7, but still has the typical cuban wood and leather thing without exagerating like the havana clubs, but it offers much more than that (as I am no pro I cant describe it well sorry). You can drink it on ice great, but it does also a perfect Cuba Libre. In both cases it leaves a fantastic aftertaste. Great choice altough a bit expensive for just a 10yo (directly in Cuba it already costs 30 CUC, almost 27 Euro, wonder what it costs outside Cuba...). For now my absolute favorite Cuba Libre (with lime and two drops of angostura ), it will be hard to return to other rums when the bottle is empty as I have no idea how to get it where I live.

There is nothing wrong with this rum, but ultimately it leaves me a little indifferent. Others have said it is good as a mixer, but I am not a fan of mixing rum, so straight up it is. I can drink it quite happily and easily. Smooth...vanilla and caramel, with a nice gentle bite on the finish from the spirit. Medium bodied, short-medium length with caramel and hints of coffee and a fine dryness.
Would I buy again? Probably. Maybe! But..... I wouldn't rush out to get another bottle, not least because of the price. Taking off all the Duty and sales taxes, this is 50% more than my current favourites and go to rums of Sunset Captain Bligh and/or Bermudez 1852 Aniversario 12yo, both of which I find much more interesting, complex and rewarding to drink.
