Havana Club 3-Year

First, I don't quite understand, why they decided to color the rum with caramel because it just looks like very much dilluted white wine - not pretty!
In terms of aroma, there is a mix of some fruity sweetness and floral notes. There is also citrus and grass. Burns on the nose.
The Anejo 3 is very mild in taste. It can be drunk neat, but there is a noticeable alcohol taste. On the upside, there is simple syrup sweetness, which lingers into the aftertaste, and again citrus. The sweetness is on the ideal level. There is pronounced bitterness and some funky grass.
Lastly, it is strong on sweetness in the aftertaste, together with citrus, and rather unpleasant alcohol burn.
While this is by no means an exquisite rum, it is great for mixing, and not only because it is affordable. The alcohol taste brings it down a level, which makes it only OK-ish for drinking neat.

A clear rum, smoother than rubbing alcohol. Drinking in a bar called Cafe Havana.

For what it is, it is fantastic. Very smooth and sweet with lighter notes. Will be great in a mojito.

A decent widely available mixing rum that goes great in mojitos.

Good for mixing.

Straight up -don't like white rums so much - 2/10
Mixed - good - 6/10
Average - 4/10

Il sera la base d'excellents mojitos mais il ne faut pas en attendre plus.

I used this as a mixer before I discovered the 7 year which is in my opinion always better and can even be used to sip if you don't have anything else around. This one I wouldn't drink pure.

The best way to describe this is milk, you can buy a triple A brand of milk, but it will still taste as... milk. In my vision there are four types of rum needed.

Cheap rum: When your young, you only need the cheapest rum available, go to the party's and share. Be the star of the party without going broke.

Mixing rum: a good neutral tasting rum for a good price, for those lovely moijitos and cubalibres you can share with that special boy or girl you met at those party's. This shows their is more to you than just a party animal. The Havana 7 year or the smiths & Cross are excellent choices for this and only cost a fraction more.

The sipping rum: for the those special evenings you enjoy with friends, you're partner or alone and think back of those great times you had when you were young and partying. You can make this as expansive as you want, but at around 35€ you can have some real decent sipping rums.

Then there is the look at me rum: for those who are young and insecure, call their girlfriends b*tch3s and think Bacardi and rum are two different things. At least they are right about that last bit.

Long story short, the 3 year doesn't really belong anywhere in my opinion, put some more money on the table and get your self something with more character.

Mixer is a necessity. Even then, it's not great, certainly worth paying a bit more for something better.

The rum itself is not very interesting. The color is not brown, and the rum has a bland taste.
I love this rum in mixed drinks like Cuba Libre.
