Havana Club Añejo 7 Year Old Rum 70cl

Have been drinking Havana 7 for a long time. A constant of creamy caramel / toffee, which is excellent on its own over ice or in a cocktail with butterscotch and ginger beer.

Have been drinking Havana 7 for years. A constant of creamy caramel / toffee. Excellent on its own over ice or in a cocktail with butterscotch and ginger beer.

The first taste really took me by surprise. Full of flavour, robust strong but with no burn in my mouth or throat. I have continued to enjoy it as a sipping rum but with each tasting I find it increasingly coarse and rough in the mouth. Maybe thats because I leave the bottle top off and the exposure to the air causes some evaporation. Definitely worth a try.

You could easily place this common off the shelf rum with far more expensive rums.

Beautiful Smokey flavour

For me, this is the quintessential dark rum. It's a deep copper colour with just the right amount of molasses and tobacco on the nose. Taste-wise it's not too sweet with hints of honey, smoke and spice. It's got a light burn with a vanilla finish. For a refined palette, this is a perfectly balanced rum.

All Cuban rums are made with cultured tobacco using traditional methods. Havana Club is a national treasure and every sip of Havana 7yo takes me back to three memorable weeks on the Island. This rum is delicious sipped, with any mixer, and is tasty when in desserts and coffee. It also pairs rather well with a Cuban cigar.

This is a classic dark rum, priced right (especially at Singapore duty-free) and is always in my liquor cabinet.

Great with Pepsi,great on ice . recommend it ,love it !

Beautiful tasting Rum, VERY smooth but with the perfect amount of burn. Sweet, but not overly so. Slight hints of chocolate, perfect to sip neat. As good as it gets in this price range.

Havana Club is owned by Pernod these days; whatever else you might say about "the man", if its wide distribution means I have easy access to this little gem for a reasonable price then I'm all for it!
For under £25 (and regularly £20-22 in supermarkets - which is sometimes less than the cheaper Anejo) this is a stunner.
I think it's at that cut-off price range - just on the edge of being a sipper, but possibly considered a little pricey for a mixer. To my mind it just about does both.
My partner and I exemplify this: she likes it neat with a little ice (she says the smell is like a party), but I prefer it with ginger beer and a wedge of orange or lime and LOADS of ice.
If I could only have one rum it would probably be this one. Luckily I have lots of rum so I can say that without having to honour it ;)

Sip this neat in a glen cairn, tell me your not thinking of a sherryed highland scotch.
Lovley rum.

Toffee followed by charred oak.
Simple, yet for the money, it's a bargain.

Bought it to pass round the campfire, and it did the job happily.
