Havana Club 7 Años Añejo 7yr 40%

"Fairly light color, caramel and vanilla on the nose, with a pleasant hint of orange. The palate is more woody than the nose, with a dilution and lack of amplitude that take away points. The finish is fairly short, but a note of bitter caramel lingers long enough. A rum that should be very pleasant for mixology."

"surprisingly fruity and also a little sweet, didn't expect that. didn't think of this as a sipping rum, but it's actually pretty good! Very nice in a Rum and Coke. I think the price is ok, but not outstanding."

"Edit: A good rum for mixing in terms of price/performance ratio. In my opinion, it can also be drunk neat because it doesn't taste so overly artificial. A good starter rum for complete newcomers to provide a gentle introduction to the world of rum. For me, it's one of my favorites in the CubaLibre. I find it just so good straight."

"6,5:The nose is both sweet and rather imposing. It's a light rum in terms of aroma, but not in terms of power. The sugar softens a rather dry, peppery woodiness, along with a few notes of fermentation that seem to have come back from afar even light smokiness/tobacco. Aeration brings out sweet fruits, coffee that melt into a grenadine syrup that is nonetheless rather powerful and floral. 6:The palate is quite round and simple, with caramel and vanilla. The alcohol warms the taste buds and awakens a dark coffee. 6:The finish is rather sweet, short, but tickled by hints of pepper and slightly metallic alcohol."

"Just tried this one, because I didn’t taste this one yet. Well, it was exactly what I expected. One of those rums you very quickly forget. Nothing worth mentioning here, but likely an ideal choice for cocktails."

"Quite alcoholic. Low intensity. Decent, aging-foreward palate."

"This is a perfect Rum both to mix it without feeling guilty that you are wasting it, and to drink it alone and it is an acceptable experience. I would say it is a Rum that is always good to have, sweet and pleasant. Salu! 🥃"

"07.2024 Erster Eindruck: vollmundig, interessanter Bogen zwischen Orangenfrucht und Holz. Nase: Holz, Vanille, Orange, würzig, sehr rund. Gaumen: der Alkohol beißt zuerst zu bevor sich weichere und würzigere Noten von Eiche, Vanille, Tabak und Zitrusfrucht ausbreiten. Abgang: Verlängerung der Gaumeneindrücke zu denen nun noch Schokolade hinzukommt. Gesamteindruck: zum pur Sippen bevorzuge ich Jamaikaner, dennoch gefällt mir der HC7 vor allem wegen des fairen Preis-Genuss-Verhältnis. Ich werde ihn daher weiterhin zum Mixen nutzen, um einen unprätentiösen Rumgeschmack einfließen zu lassen. <2018 Ich erinnere, dass mir beim ersten Tasting das Holz zu präsent war"

"One of the classics on the rum shelf. Quite appealing on the nose with caramel, wood and spices. On the palate you are greeted with a lively taste followed by wood and vanilla. I don't like it neat, but I always like it mixed with cola."
