Havana Club 7-Year Rum is distilled from fermented molasses and aged in charred white oak barrels for seven years.
Havana Club rum is still made in Cuba - where the company was founded by José Arechabala in 1878 and then nationalized in 1959 after the Cuban Revolution. Havana Club is now jointly owned by Pernod Ricard and the Cuban government.

6,5:The nose is both sweet and rather imposing. It's a light rum in terms of aroma, but not in terms of power. The sugar softens a rather dry, peppery woodiness, along with a few notes of fermentation that seem to have come back from afar even light smokiness. Aeration brings out sweet fruits, coffee that melt into a grenadine syrup that is nonetheless rather powerful and floral.
6:The palate is quite round and simple, with caramel and vanilla. The alcohol warms the taste buds and awakens a dark coffee.
6:The finish is rather sweet, but tickled by hints of pepper and slightly metallic alcohol.

Awesome 7 year rum for $30 (from Canada or the UK). Can’t believe we get the much inferior version of this here in the US for the same price :-(

Not my normal purchase but found this on a trip (couldn’t find my regulars). Nice smooth taste without a burn.

Dobry do picia solo, ma przystępną cenę i jeśli weźmiemy rumy w tym zakresie cenowym, to wypada bardzo korzystnie
I like the leather, tobacco aftertaste since I snusar. Its not smokey but has a very distinct taste.
I've always been a fan of Havana Club rums and the 7-Year Old is the go-to stalwart of the clan. Good along but, honestly, better with a (Diet) Coke. The beautiful dark color is great and the slightly smokey and leathery flavor is spot on. Great rum.

Ok, first I will apologize for the use of that much-scorned descriptor: "Smooth". However, I was duly impressed at how effortlessly this just slid in as I drank it. Now, that shouldn't be surprising since it is only 80 proof, nevertheless, this really stood out, and likely because lower proof spirits often come across as watery and thin. Not this rum! I'm not yet adept at going into particulars in terms of specific tasting notes, but I will say that this is quite a delicious, light rum, though it's flavour is somewhat understated. It didn't knock my socks off with bold flavours, but it was something that I could just keep sipping and sipping - truly dangerous.
Just for added info: I'm primarily a whisk(e)y drinker, though I have begun to branch out to tequila, rum, cachaca, and gin. The rums I have tried and enjoyed so far are Mount Gay XO and Rhum Vieux Labbé 3 stars, as well as Soul Cachaca.
