Havana Club Añejo Especial is a blend of rums aged for up to five years produced from the fermented molasses of sugar cane harvested in Cuba. The molasses is combined with yeast and water, distilled using column stills, and aged in white oak barrels.
Havana Club was founded in 1878 by Jose Arechabala and later nationalized after the Cuban Revolution in 1959.

Another rum from HC that's easy to drink.
I don't get the same alcohol smell that most people seem to mention with this rum. Maybe a little vanilla.
It's got a really good colour, good legs and I don't find it too harsh when over ice.
Would make a great mixer, though I've not tried that yet.
All in all a "every day rum", that should suit most tastes.
Picked it up today, on offer in Tesco, £15.

Strong alcohol smell but has a beautiful deep color. The first sip gives a strong deep sugar taste with a lot of aroma in your mouth.
The aftertaste is a bit strong but the sweetness prevails quickly after it.
Overall a nice rum that is a bit to sweet for me.

First Havana which is possible to drink without non-alcoholic drink. But with this price is still ok to make Cuba-Libre from it.

Along with HC 3 anos, HC especial is widespead cuban rum here. It is quite harsh but not so much, quite sweet, but not so much, and quite tasty (of couse - ) but not so much! It is not sipping rum obviously but it could be sometimes (especially when you short of money). It is quality cheap straight cuban rum and this is quite enough for me!

Another version of the classic HC. A bit more aged and less dry than the 3 year old but not yet the sweetness of a a 7 year old.

Ordered some in a bar neat with a separate glass of ice just in case but it wasn't needed. It's by no means something I'd by a bottle of but in a bind it's adequate neat and cheap.
