Havana Club Pacto Navio

Smooth fruity taste with long lasting sweet spicy aftertaste.
Great historical background: The name pacto navio comes from the fact that in the early days rum was shipped to Europe in barrels that were used to import wine to Cuba. This is also reflected by the shape of the bottle and the rope.
First I was a bit afraid because I'm not a wine drinker. But although there is a slight note that reminds of grapes its rather pleasant.

nice color and interesting aftertaste (little burn). I m not excited but i m not also dissapointed. Maybe i was expected more from Havana. As another person wrote this is better that 7 anos but far away from Maestros. BUT...i dont have any negative so i will give it another try

A commercial rum, maybe good for cocktails but mediocre quality...

Vanille und Caramel in der nase, weich und süss im Mund mit leicht herber Note.
Leider etwas zu süss, womöglich wegen Zucker, desshalb eher etwas für weniger anspruchvolle Rumtrinker.
Gute Alternative zu Diplomatico R.E. oder Plantation XO

Un peu fort en alcool au nez mais plutot sympa a deguster

A 40% blend of Cuban rums aged 7-15 years, what is futher aged for 3 months in sweet sauteners wine casks.

Bottle: Classic one with cork cap.
Colour: Honey gold.

Nose: Honey, citrus, ginger, sweet white wine, apple pie and oak.
Flavour: Quite smooth with a slight burn on the palate and in the throat. It is slightly sweetish, but a rather drier and spicy flavour prevails. Unfortunately the taste is a bit flatter without depth. The palate has raisins, caramel, honey, ginger, cocoa and toasted wood.
Finish: Rather short.

Summary: It's definitely a good, but only slightly above average rum without a distinct memorable flavour.

Rating: 6.5/10

Normally I find that Havana knows how to make their rums. But this one seems to be the mistake they made or something. It is a weird rum to my opinion.

Certainly one of the better Havana Club rums, packaged nicely. Not a very complex taste but enjoyable. But there easily are much better rums in this price category.

Spicy rum with taste of molasses, fruits, spices, caramell.

Agressive nose. Mineral and herbal mouth. Very interesting product. Well made
