Havana Club Pacto Navio

This rum was instantly appealing to me, because of its bottle. The label looks great and just below the neck, there is a compass design molded into the glass bottle itself, which looks awesome. The cork also has a wooden top, which adds style for sure.
Now to the actual rum; it is unlike anything that I've tasted. It is very woody. The smell is really pleasant and natural. The taste is quite smooth and has a lot of natural tastes that come together well. The colour is a nice dark brown, which adds to the overall wooden character of the rum.
In conclusion, this is for sure a rum that I will drink again.

Smagt på Romhattens romfestival i Århus august 2020, ganske udemærket.

Classic Cuban rum similar to Ron Veradero with an extra aging twist. Great marketing beautiful bottle design. Not something I would rush to purchase again. I will stick with Havana Club 7 & Veradero 7

Bernsteifarben im Glas
in der Nase sehr elegant und frisch. Tropische Früchte mit Karamell und einen Strauss frische Blumen dazu. Die Hölzer spielen dezente Noten im Hintergrund.
Am Gaumen weich, elegant und lecker. Karamell, Vanille, Früchte und Hölzer respektieren Einander und bewegen sich harmonisch über die Zunge.
Im Abgang eigentlich ganz passabel, Karamell und Früchte bleiben noch etwas länger.
Ein gutgemachter fruchtiger Rum mit guter Preis / Leistung. Für Einsteiger und Geniesser.

Amber color in the glass
very elegant and fresh on the nose. Tropical fruit with caramel and a bouquet of fresh flowers to it. The woods play subtle notes in the background.
On the palate soft, elegant and delicious. Caramel, vanilla, fruits and woods respect each other and move harmoniously over the tongue.
The finish is actually quite passable, with caramel and fruit lingering a bit longer.
A well-made fruity rum with good price / value. For beginners and connoisseurs.

Impresionante y es una lastima que no haya decimales, aunque le haya dado un 8 reconozco que está más allá del 8'5, en nariz son todo notas a madera y alcohol, en boca es sorprendente las notas dulces con sabor largo y en absoluto se notan los 40 grados cuando está más allá de la garganta (serán los toneles de añejamiento que hace tiempo tuvieron vinos dulces para postres), siempre dentro de las características del ron cubano, en un principio prefería los rones de menor latitud como los de Venezuela.......y probando......me han ganado los sabores puros y tanto este como el selección de maestros me han conquistado, en cuanto a precio aproveché una oferta de 27€ y muy contento........nunca lo mezclaría y creo que tampoco le pondría hielo.....a palo seco me encanta.

Really enjoyed this bottle, smooth flavour neat and over ice. Definitely one to keep going back to.

Lekkere rum zeker bij een spelletje! Heel anders dan de andere deze avond

Vandaag 2 rums op de tafel, voor bij de spelletjes met vriendjes J en M. De andere is Matusalem. Deze ruikt wat sterker, de andere zoeter: ze blijken allebei lekker te smaken en mogen allebei in de herhaling.

I had a few of these during my holidays at the beach. Very nice design, beautyful color and surprisingly smooth taste.

This rum was decent but not particularly exciting. Watery in the glass, light colour with little red. Not too alcoholic in the nose, sweet aroma with hints of leather, red fruits, wine and nail polish remover. First taste expression was brown sugar like from the bottom of an unstirred lemonade. It was, however not awfully sweet. After adding a drop of water the wine taste got more pronounced, as well as the wood is the barrel itself. Somehow the flavor profile reminds me abuelo 12 rum. Leathery finish with practically no alcohol burn. Overall the rum seems flat, just like zacapa 12. Its basic and constitute a firm basis for evaluation of more extravagant rums.
