Havana Club 7-Year

Havana club, good distillery with a classic oak barrel rum.

Good for sipping with a slice of orange and maybe some ice. Not the most fancy but at a good value.
I prefer the Havan Club Especiall for a rum and coke.

It's a fine rum if you're new to tasting. Otherwise a bit boring, feels ok to pour cola in it

At € 18,50 ? Are you serious ? Well I can't get the joke. Always in my cabinet.
I think this is good neat. A perfect everyday rum.

This rum is fine and affordable as a mixer but there is not enough margin or flavor to make it worth purchasing this over so many other offerings.

Tasting it for the first time at a party it stuck to my tastes memory. It's a good drink even not mixed. Tastes sweet and with slightly smokey flavour/smell to it. I would recommend as a good party starter.

Cuban rums are a mixed batch really. But they often give a good insight into what the "Spanish" style of rums can be if not ruined by too much sugar.

Havana Club makes such rums - honest, relatively unconcocted, mass-produced but down-to-ground.

The 7-year-old version has a nice oaky aroma, which is close to bourbon in a way. Sweet, but subdued. Light, delicate, a bit floral, a slight hint of smoke in the oak. A bit of tobacco, a bit of leathery dryness. Medium sweetness in the mouth, finish is relatively dry.
Not overly complex, but not boring. There is enough to explore, but it is not an adventure rum. Good for sipping while having a good conversation or while enjoying the sunset. Not something that demands attention. But still possible to talk about this rum, if you know what I mean.

I find it makes for a good sipping rum. For mixing, I do prefer bolder rums. If you just want something that will be OK-ish in a drink, this is too expensive. For other purposes, I would choose something with more punch. I think this really is a light, elegant sipping rum.

This is the base historical rum ,well balanced, not so spicy and not sweet.You can drink it on the rocks and for serious coctails (old fashioned )

Average in average with an average note. A bit dark, a bit complex, not too sweet, not too bitter and the price is ok as well. For me too average to buy it again.

Not that great but also not that bad for the price. I ended up using it as a mixer and it was actually quite good.
