Havana Club 7-Year

An important preface is that this rum is available in Denmarkf for 22€ regularly - that's 26 $, so I'm not judging it from the rarity of the American market, in which case I'd probably rate it 5 ot 6. It's pretty good for a Cuba libre, maybe even Dark & Stormy or other drinks of low ABV. For a Cuba Libre, it is however EXCELLENT - the best I've had yet. I wouldn't use it for tiki or other other rum forwards drinks, but for a "base", it's very good for the money.

EDIT: Actually, after tasting it neat a few times, I've upped my score to an 8. My current opinion is that in Denmark, you DO NOT get a better rum for 170 dkk/22 euros. It's as good as a millonario on the rocks, and at little more than half the price. The only downside is if you're expecting a classic cuban room with heavy wood, leather and tobacco, this one is more in line with the sweeter Dominican Republic rums (though not quite as sweet).

HC7 and Ice only doesn´t taste the best but for mixing it´s okay i wouldn´t recommend it... There are better rums for the price.

Bought accicentally, but drank with pleasure. Light and sweet

I’m not a big fan of Havana Club rums but this rum is good to drink with one cube of ice.

This was the other half of my present from Cuba. I recall it being more molasses forward with a distinctly woody character. Quite good, and from what my fiance said, affordable.

This is a very affordable and easy to find dark rum. While it has a very sweet aroma of tropical notes (banana, leather, pineapple), this is not a sweet rum. Highly recommend it for beginners.

I don't think this an easy drinkable rum on rocks or even pure, but it represents a great alternative to the 3 years old havana when making long drinks.

One of the better aged rums that I've tasted. Very affordable too.

Just from my memory - I can remember white oak, tobacco, vanilla, in the scent and taste, but the last bottle I bought 05/2021 (stubby one, unlike the picture here) had almost no trace of tobacco in the smell and taste, the taste in certain respect reminded me of Cubay Anejo, but was more crude, basically a bit of oak, bit of vanilla, with added walnut in smell and a bitter walnut twist in the taste - I am confused - did they change the recipe or my memory is bad? Still decent mixer, but there are better options.

Not bad, but nothing special about it either. A bit spicy.
