Havana Club Barrel Proof

Soft, fruity flavor of raisins.
Do you love rum raisin ice cream, you must have one.
Have never tast a better rum. (But im novice)

What I´ve heard this is the old version of the Havana Club Seleccion de Maestros (HCSM), or rather that the HCSM is the new version of Havana Club Barrel Proof..? Anyway, I´m a fan of the HCSM and once a got a oppertunity to try the Barrel Proof I got pretty excited and I enjoyed every sip of it!

Lovely havana club rum to sip. Not as good as some others in the same price range.

škoda že už se nedá sehnat, alespon tady v čechách, jeden z nej rumů co jsem kdy pil, ještě mám doma cca 0,3l v lahvi, schovávám na nejhorší.

Gillar denna romen skarpt. Den är sjukt prisvärd och en av mina favoriter helt klart

A purchase while in Cuba. A very fine example of good rum. Not to sweet. A perfect match with Cuban cigars... or any cigar. Would always make sure to have a bottle in my cabinet... if I could find it. The last 4 ounces in the bottle have been clinging to life... I don't want to finish it for always longing for more. I know, I know... just drink it already.... enjoy it. I think I will.

Una muy buena lección de hacer ron. Potente pero muy agradable en boca.

I have read a lot about this rare rum and then bought it from ebay (it is possible but difficult and expensive). What a moment when we opened box with three 1L bottles :) I have not opened it yet but found a bar with Barrel Proof on menu, quite a luck.

So to the review: colour, smell and taste is absolute delight. Have not yet tasted better rum. Toffee, oak, cinnamon. 45% means strong afterburn but not unpleasant. Want more! ;)

Unfortunately I will first apologise for my review. Having been a fan of the Havana 5 and 7 year varietys I purchased a bottle which is yet to be opened...8 years later.

Sampled in a bar on a fuzzy night.

8/10 to keep the average.

Good rum but not woth the price in my opinion. There are better for less money.
