Havana Club 7-Year

This is the golden boy rum to have for sipping (commercially available at a reasonable price) if you are a Cuban living abroad and don't get to travel to the island often. I really like the strong smell of the HC7. Like the taste as well although one still finds the harshness that characterizes most of the Cuban rums I have tasted/being able to afford. Such harshness sometimes makes it a non-sipper to citizens from other countries. What I cannot cope with is the cheap bottle cap. Its also not too sweet like the Demerara ED family but not a great value for ~33CAD in Ontario, Canada.
Great for mixing but other cheaper HCs will do the job as well while minimizing the damage to your wallet.

its a nice rum to mix with coke not expensive but not cheap eather

Pure alcohol, a bit too harsh for my taste/throat. Frankly speaking, I don't believe this rum is aged for 7 long years. My guess would be 7 weeks. Seven years in a wood, in Cuba's hot climate, would make it a wonderful, smooth-sipping drink. Just look at any bourbon, as a production reference.

meget skarp i smagen og meget sprittet. Ikke rigtig nogle noter og toner der får lov at trænge igennem

Decent legs, good tropical aroma with some heat coming through. Soft and semi-smooth on the palate with some wood to finish.

the best cuba libre you can make is with the havana club 7.
Very smooth and sweet. Nice in the summertime!

I tried it with water and a couple of ice cubes. It was smooth enough but didn't have the nice flavor of the Appletons and El Dorado rums I have tried.

Havana Club 7-year was my introduction to the rum world, and as such I have remained quite partial to it. It's very pleasant to sip.

I'm no professional so I can't tell you much about the body and these things. But I think it's the perfect rum for a round of Cuba Libres with friends.

denne rom egner sig kun til at mixe. kunne forestille mig at den var god med cola.
