Havana Club San Cristobal de la Habana

La Occidental Guayabita del Pinar

Ladies Rum Very sweet liquor like rum made with guava. Smooth, creamy and fruity. One of the best sweetened rums. Very rare to come by. Produced in Pinar del

Havana Club Barrel Proof

One of Havana Clubs masterpieces Smooth and sweet classic rum combined with barrel wood flavor. Barrel proof has its name from the fact that it is bottled directly from the barrel.

Santiago de Cuba Extra Anejo

One of my favorites Sweet and smooth. Once an insider tip but now well know. One of Cubas best rums.

Havana Club Selección de Maestros

Worthy successor of the Havana Club Barrel Proof. Round spicy smooth and fruity taste with a pleasant smoky oak aftertaste. Recommended!

Havana Club Tributo

Great start of the Havana Club's Tributo series A blend aged in a barrel that was used for up to 80 years. Only 2500 bottles were produced. All numbered and signed. Very mild, spicy with a fruity

Havana Club Tributo

Real tribute Finally had the chance to taste and get a bottle of this fine rum. Smooth and well balanced. Slightly sweet tobacco flavoured. With long lasting fruit

The classic Good solid rum with fruity tannin taste. But also lives from its name. Even in Havana about 150$ now. I give it a lower rating as I gave the Barre

Legendario Ron Dorado

Good mixer With caramel and vanilla flavor. (I only rate rum I actually tasted an I have at least one bottle of in my shelf).

Vigia Gran Reserva

Tribute to Hemingway Very well balanced and aromatic. Sweet fruity entrance followed by a dry finish. Great choice for those who look for a good price/taste option among

Religious spirit Rich intense and aromatic. Santero is actually taken from the Cuban religion Santeria and means a wise man or a priest. Rum is still a very importa

Havana Club Ritual Cubano

Could become anyones ritual Light and smooth. Actually made for cocktails but not bad on the rocks either.

Legendario Ron Anejo

Blend flavored with Muscatel wine. Sweet spicy caramel and vanilla. Although it is ok to be consumed on the rocks I prefer it to sweeten cocktails.

Solid cuban rum Typical caramel flavor mixed with an oak barrel note.

Good Smooth, fruity with a wooden touch. Great choice for its price segment. Especially for those who do not like it to sweet.

Cubay Reserva Especial

Good mixer Smooth and spicy with a wooden pepper flavour. Relatively high priced. Ideally for mixing.

Santiago de Cuba Anejo

Good choice Sweet and smooth. One of Cubas most popular rums. Can't go wrong with this one. Ideal for mixing.

Havana Club Anejo Especial

The perfect mixer 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.

Classic The benchmark for clear rum. Great base for standard cocktails. I don't even want to know how many bottles I already killed...

The Classic Probably Cubas most famous aged rum and the benchmark for many. Round and smooth. I still use it for long drinks only.

Havana Club Anejo Reserva

Perfect mixer The smoothest and most aromatic of Havana Clubs Anejos. Although it could already be enjoyed on the rocks I prefer it in long drinks.

Aldabo Crema Al Ron

Similar to Baileys. Sweet taste of creamy milk and white chocolate. My wife loves it!

Mulata Palma Superior

Sweet Very sweet and round with a chocolate flavour reminding me of pralines followd by a slight afterburn. Great Cuban rum for very little money.

Good one Sweet and dry rum from one of Cubas most famous producers.

Mulata Carta Blanca

Dry Mixer Rather dry rum. Not bad tough. Good alternative for mixing a Cuba Libre.

Cubay Anejo Suave

New export Classic Cuban rum, exported only since a few years. Mild and spicy with reduced alcohol. Good for mixing. Ideally "a lo Cubano" with just a drop of Co

Mulata Silver Dry

Classic Cuban Cocktail Rum Rich and smooth. Next to Havana Club the most common mixing rum in Cuban bars. I'll give it a 6 for that.

Diplomatico Reserva

Good one for being the "reserva" Smooth and sweet and a little bit edgy at the end. The only non Cuban rum on my shelf so far. I got it from a friend and we only drank 3/4th that

Cane Island Cuba Gran Anejo

Solid rum Blend of 3-5 years old rum aged in Bourbon barrels from Distilera Cubay & Santo Domingo de Villa Clara. Sweet and balanced with a note of wood.

Great for Cocktails Aromatic and spicy. I sometimes use it to vary the taste of my Cuba Libre.

Caney Carta Blanca

Great rum for mixing Mild and spicy, less fruity and sweet than aged rums. Ideally for cocktails.

Santero Añejo Reserva

For cocktails Spicy sweet. Ideally to be used for summer cocktails.

Legendario Añejo Blanco

Great mixer Soft aroma. Not as famous as Havana Club but a more economic alternative.

Santiago de Cuba Carta Blanca

Decent mixer. Very popular rum in Cuba. Dry and slightly sweet. Only for mixed drinks.

Tumbao Silver Dry

A lo Cubano Probably the most consumed rum in Cuba. For about 1$ Tumbao boxes are available at every street corner and consumed like soft drinks. People sit at th

The Teaser El Vacilón is Spanish for the teaser. Nice bottle with relief letters. Tastes of vanilla, coffe & of tropical fruits.

Rum & Cane Cuba XO

Cubay Elixir 33

Rum Liquor A Cubay rum-based liqueur. Sweet and fruity. Great for fruit juice coctails.

Black Tears Spiced

For desserts Dry very spiced rum with a slight vanilla and a strong coffee note. Nothing to be consumed on the rocks but I can imagine that this one would be a goo

Mulata Reserva Real

Scrachy Rather raspy rum for its age. Good choice for those who like it when it burns in the throat.

Coctail rum Fine mild Cuban rum I like to use for Mojitos and Cuba Libres.

Ron Perla Del Norte Carta Oro

Not all gold that glitters Interesting new brand from Cardenas in Matanzas. Hopefully the company won't have to fight the technical problems anymore they had in the past. Nothin

Havana Club Anejo Blanco Cuba

Coctail Rum The youngest of Havana Clubs aged rums. Only for mixing.

Mulata Anejo Blanco

Mixer Dry and light. Not añejo enough to get the golden color of the barrel but still ok for coctails.

Varadero Añejo

For tourists Ok for Varadero tourists that wanna mix a Cuba Libre back home dreaming of the beaches of Varadero.

Comandante Fidel Superior

Whiskey? Cuban rum bottled in Spain. Mild smokey with strong taste of barrel that reminds rather of Whiskey than rum. Not really a revolution but one is enough

Cubay Blanco Ligero

La Cajita One of Cubas most consumed rums. Similar to Tumbao Silver dry sold for about 1.5$ and sipped right out of the box. Light and rather sweet.
