Havana Club Union

I´m not sure if it´s really Havana Club Union Cohiba Athmospere. If yes this is the most expensive rum I drank and one of the two best rum I have drank.
Price/taste not too good.

I initially taste classic dry cuban rum, but much smoother than other ones I’ve tried. Medium gold color catch typical flavors of Selection de Maestros but less harsh. This is a very good rum but believe I need a good Cohiba Cigar to pair with it.

Jeg havde forventet mig meget mere af denne rom. Den skuffer virkelig på smagen.

Schönes glänzendes Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase eine Symphonie von Düften mit Starbesetzung und grosser Halle. Bei jedem Mal an der Nase ist etwas neues zu erleben. Da sind Toblerone-Schokoladenmuss mit Primitivo Rotwein, leicht geröstete Kokosflocken und medium getoastetes Holz, sanft wiegende Blumenfelder am Meer mit kleinen Ungeheuern am Horizont, Vanillecreme mit einem Tropfen Blütenhonig, Liebstöckel und frisch zerbrochene Kreide, Anflüge von Anis und Menthol sind nur eine Auswahl in diesem nie enden wollenden Konzert.
Am Gaumen spielen die herben Aromen am lautesten, die etwas schüchternen bleiben im Hintergrund. Ein lederner Tabakbeutel wird in kochendes Karamell getunkt, Holzspäne mit zart-bitterer Schokolade umhüllt, geheimnisvolle Kräuter mit kandierten tropischen Früchten gemischt. Nur eine kleine Auswahl, mehr ist zu entdecken!
Im Abgang sehr angenehm, Karamell und Schokolade am Anfang, Liebstöckel und eine Priese Salz am Schluss.
Ein absolut ausgewogener top Rum der sicher Seinesgleichen sucht auch vom Preis her. Für gutbetuchte Geniesser, Verführer und Havanna-Fans.

Beautiful shiny amber in the glass.
In the nose a symphony of scents with star cast and great hall. Each time on the nose is something new to experience. There's Toblerone chocolate mousse with Primitivo red wine, lightly roasted coconut flakes and medium toasted wood, gently swaying fields of flowers by the sea with little monsters on the horizon, vanilla cream with a drop of floral honey, lovage and freshly broken chalk, hints of anise and menthol are just a sampling in this never-ending concert.
On the palate, the tart flavors play loudest, while the somewhat shy ones remain in the background. A leather tobacco pouch is dipped in boiling caramel, wood shavings are coated with delicately bitter chocolate, mysterious herbs are mixed with candied tropical fruits. Just a small selection, more to discover!
In the finish very pleasant, caramel and chocolate at the beginning, lovage and a pinch of salt at the end.
An absolutely balanced top rum that is certainly looking for its equal also from the price. For well-heeled connoisseurs, seducers and Havana fans.

I’m just back from this years rumcruise at the Baltic Sea with Birka cruises. Decided more or less already before the cruise that I should buy me a bottle if I liked it, cause the price is “just” 190€ during the cruise.
Have tasted the Seleccion de Maestros and the 15yo before and liked them, but this is a great step forward. A truly fantastic Ron! Very complex with a nice afterburn. It’s just below my top five shelf.

Smell ok
Taste a bit disappointed
Aftertaste ok long
:-)

Perfect amount of sweetness, warm on the tongue and fragrant in the nose.
This one of the most gratifying rums I’ve tasted. It was imported through Sweden.
Perfect color, smell and taste. What more could you want.

Many thanks to Joola69 for bringing this from Europe as I can't buy Cuban rums in the US.

We tried this alongside the Havana Club Maximo, and we both preferred this to the Maximo!

Given that this is the best Havana Club I've tried, I was curious to compare this to the top Santiago de Cuba rums I've tried - my favorite thus far being the Santiago de Cuba Isla del Tesoro. I found that to be better than this. I then compared this to the Santiago de Cuba Siglo Y 1/2. They were close, but I ever so slightly prefer the Santiago de Cuba Siglo Y 1/2 to this, as it has a nice hint of spice that I like.

This smells and tastes of oak, aromatic tobacco and smoke, anise, and a bit of fruitiness. A little on the dry side, with a hint of sweetness.

Definitely a great rum; but I found I prefer the high end Santiago de Cuba's to the high end Havana Clubs.

I bought this rum on Cuba in the Cohiba factory. This one is my most expensive rum in the collection and it deserves the price. Package in a nice wooden box which still smell like Cigars factory we visit.
Every time I open the box I still remember on a visit.
Taste is smooth and very intense.
Soft and tasty.
Definitely recommended

Dernière prise lors de mon récent voyage à LaHavane, le nouveau venu de la famille Havana Club est tout simplement divin.

Créé par le Ron Maestro de la maison pour être le rhum ultime à marier avec un cigar Cohiba.

À 350 CUC ( ou US$ ) oui on pourrait dire que c'est cher payé.
Mais si on passe par dessus la barrière du prix, on découvre un produit d'une finesses à couper le souffle.

Tout est en douceur ici. Les différentes saveurs s'harmonisent parfaitement les une aux autres pour crée une douce symphonie pour tout les sens.

Agrumes et tabac aux nez.
Viens ensuites le caramel salé, l'orange et un léger goût de chênes.
Une descente d'un douceur impressionante pour un rhum avec autant de force.

En vaut chacun des dollars investis !

Un grand parmis les grands.
