Havana Club Anejo Blanco (PR)

If you like cheap vodka you will love this rum!!!

The flavor is between rubbing alcohol and vodka! no rum goodness at all!!!!!!

This is literally the worst rum I have ever had!!!

George Ocean is the same price and a million times better for a white rum to mix with!!

This is a Bacardi rum, rebranded. I was not a fan, was bland with a serious burn. Not quite as bad a perfume, but you could do better.

On the Puerto Rican version on the nose I get Key Lime Pie, Vanilla, faint toasted Marshmallow, and a hint of ethanol. The alcohol note is light and does not diminish the other notes. The predominate note is Key Lime Pie with Merengue.

Taking a sip I get Key Lime Pie with Merengue, Vanilla, and a slightly more pronounced note of toasted Marshmallow. The palate here is sweeter, not from added sugar, but more along the lines of how Probitas has a sweet note.

The finish is straight Vanilla and Lime. Simple but fairly well pronounced and of medium length.

I am actually quite pleasantly surprised by the Bacardi Havana Club. I had read that it is a shell compared to the Cuban version; but that is not the case to my tastes. They are a bit different but I am pleasantly surprised by the Bacardi version. The Cuban version is just slightly fruitier in a way, but the Puerto Rican version has a very nice harmony to it. No it’s not complex but it is far better than what I anticipated and have read about. The Puerto Rican version was designed for Mojitos and I am willing to bet that it will indeed make a killer Mojito. This compares right up there close to the Cuban version, maybe just slightly shy of it…but certainly not by much. At its price point of $15 per 750ml Bacardi Havana Club Añejo Blanco, is actually surprisingly a very good buy. I really wouldn’t mind seeing what 3 Years of aging on the Bacardi version of this rum could do.

First experience with Havana Club. Was told if you’re making Mojitos you should go Havana Club. It was decent. Definitely better stuff out there. But I would try them again.

It's fine, not bad, not great, I wouldn't turn down a drink with it, but will probably try something else next time I buy a white rum.

Not a fan of white rums, this one is pretty good, a bit smoky in palate.

Not available in the Netherlands so when I saw it in the US I had to pick up a bottle. I'm not really a fan of white rums and this is a prime example why. Very low on taste, but even so, better than 'regular' Bacardi.

Not in love. Serves as a white rum if other options aren't readily available.

My first rhum agricole. Interesting taste that I’m still getting used to. Have seen comparisons to rum that rhum has a more “earthy” flavor to it. I would say that is accurate. Overall, not bad.

Arrgh, the more I drank this rum, the more I liked it. Aye, there be some low ratings on this one, but here be my thoughts. She smells a bit on the sweet side, with a bit of vanilla, some oak, and a slight hint of tobacco. There also be a faint fruity smell, but I could not tell what. At least, not until I tasted her. She be not as sweet, but there be a solid mix of vanilla, banana, tobacco, and wood. Not oak, but wood. Smooth with very little burn. She goes down easy. As sippin' rums go, this could easily be one, but you have to get to know her. She'll surprise you for sure!
