Havana Club Pacto Navio

Note: I'm a sipper. My opinion is based on sipping characteristics.

This is one of the most hated rums, it would seem, because everyone blabs about how heavily "dosed" it is and them lying about the actual age. I can't say whether either of these accusations is true but I can say I really enjoyed my experience. Yes, apparently there is some sugar involved, whether it's for coloring or taste, so what? It's not like in the Zacapa, that's for sure. And at least in my end of the world, this does not cost anywhere near Zacapa. So in my book, it is a great thing to have neat.

Mild balanced and unipressive rum. Easy to drink for but I prefer Dictador 12 y.o. for this price.

Мягкий, сбалансированный ничем не выразительный ром. Пьется легко, но за эту цену я предпочту Dictador 12.

I usually drink my rum with cola. I found this one to have a pleasant starting taste, but then there was something unexpected, and not really rum-like in the taste. It was disappointing as I have been really curious about this rum for many years. I probably won't buy it again.

I like it. Start is very strong, but and is so hot and pleasant.

The smell reminds me of Dzama vanilla. It is definitely a thinner rum with a bit of that flavour also present in dzama. Vanilla? Warm vanilla yes. Not too much finish but still a very enjoyable basic rum for a 15 year Solera. Especially given the cheaper price tag, ($34CAD). It didn't last too long!

Although not made in Cuba anymore, now in the Dominican Republic, this rum is great for making a Cuba Libre cocktail. It has hints of vanilla and sweetness of Toffee but it makes a great cocktail. It doesn't have a tobacco flavour like some Cuban rums but hey, it's not made in Cuba anymore!

Super simple, lacks character, though value for money is good.

A bit vegetative but also falls a wee bit flat in the flavour department. Smooth for the price but not as good as an offering as I thought Id be getting based on other Matusalem's Ive had. Still worth a purchase to try though, for sure.

A nice rum but nothing that realy sticks out from so many others.

Jó ár érték arányú belépő szintű ital a Dominikai rumok világába. Kellemes illat,selymes íz. Maradandót nem mutat,de egy baráti beszélgetéshez tökéletes lehet.
