5 Años Añejo Especial

cuba libre go-to with caramel and vanilla

Reliable Cuba Libre mixer with caramel, vanilla and oak spice. Reviewers say it’s smooth and sweet enough for cocktails; some sip it, but complexity and the alcoholic nose are limited.

    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members reach for it when mixing Cuba Libre, thanks to caramel and vanilla with woody spice. On the palate, caramel, vanilla and oak come through, with a touch of sweetness and occasional orange peel in the finish. Most prefer it with cola and lime; a few enjoy it neat. Backed by 218 community reviews and a bestselling status, it’s a budget-friendly, reliable Cuban mixer.

    6.3/10 219 reviews

    My evergreen, great for a nice long drink or in cocktails, but can also be drunk neat if you don't have a nice bar nearby or are out and about. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with it ;)

    Parfait pour boire avec du coca en sortie

    One of the better Havana Club rums. It's not a must-have, but it's still good. Tastes slightly nutty to me, but still just manageable. An ok rum if you compare it with the other Havanas.

    I use this one for my Cuba libre. 4 cl Havana Club 1 cl lime juice 10 cl Coca Cola
