A good rum. A club havana that stands out from the classic reserva and 7-year-olds and demonstrates the distillery's talents. Unfortunately, higher end havanas cost too much for me to understand the true potential of the brand.Medium finish. Cocoa/chocolate notes mixed with vanilla and fleeting barrel. I don't understand why Spanish rums insist on lengthening them.

Almost all Havana Club rums are overpriced in my opinion even if they taste good, but this one is much more price worthy than the 15yo.

The rum is too thin and meaningless to me, you do yourself no favor. Then rather reach for the HC 15 años, if you have the opportunity, even if the 3x as expensive.

nice round and also somewhat more complex Havana, easy to drink, nice pear and nougat chocolate note with some nut. definitely one of the best PLV Cubans of Havana Club. Alcohol could be minimally better integrated.

In my view one of the best balanced Spanish style Ron’s. Delicate nose with toffee, malt and caramel notes. Body is really well balanced with a spicy edge, caramel, and oak. Finish is slightly short, with leather and vanilla the main components. Not exceptional but punches well above its weight and worth exploring for those into Barbadian and Jamaican rums

For me in the Havana Club range, a really nicely balanced but still typically Cuban racy rum. Very pleasant smell, which is clearly more fruity than the taste. In the finish short but rough. From the price-performance ratio for me the best of the Havanas. And this was tried from 10 to 190 € some from the house Havana Club.

One can definitely try. Lots of wood and spice, a little fruity on the nose, on the palate almost not at all, but leather and tobacco. Surprisingly sweet, but rather so direction burnt caramel.

Es un ron intenso. El dulzor está en su punto, así se vea opacado en momentos por la presencia del alcohol. Es un ron agradable para degustar, aunque no es uno de esos que uno diga inolvidable.
