Havana Club Seleccion de Maestros Rum

Very dark gold in the glass, the nose on this higher proof rum is delightful. It's a powerful nose, and if you were blindfolded you could be forgiven for thinking this was a Cognac. There's a lovely all spice combined with shortbread, danish pastry, golden syrup and maple pancakes.
In the mouth the spice develops, a little cinnamon, tobacco and pepper makes way for a deep mocha/espresso note, dark chocolate and coffee mix with a creamy sweetness like an Irish Coffee.
The finish is warm and long, the maple sweetness remains with a slight tang of orange and cinnamon sticks.
A delicious rum for sure, and a fantastic change from whisky.

I haven't delved into more expensive rums yet but this one is by far the best I have tried. Amazing in a cuba libre.

Sweet but not cloying, full of spice and smoke. The MoM notes nail it really, although I'd say there is a slightly herbal, menthol note on the finish after the fruit. There are rums I prefer but I'll commend Seleccion de Maestros for being a quality product and a shining example of what a premium rum should be (ie not a sugar syrup).

This is the best rum from Havana club, I first had this in the rum tasting in Havana and it really stood out and impressed me then and it has done every time I've had it since. This is a rum for rum lovers its a true delight and one you'd want to treasure and keep hidden from guests to enjoy alone.

This Rum is extremely good, I feel that it could have been easily been bottled at 50-56% ABV to elevate it even further.

Sublime rum almost cognac like. Pair with a Partagas Lusitania for a slice of heaven on earth.

The best rum I ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Better then Appleton or US rum selections. It exquisite.

Drank this whilst visiting Cuba last year, it's a stunning rum and by far one of my favourites. Im very lucky in that my kids bought me a bottle for Christmas which will tide me over till I go back to Cuba in July.

Excellent rum! very smooth at 45%abv... A quality barrel proof rum and delicious sipper. Great rum and a great value.

I picked this rum up at the terminal in Havana. I hadn't heard of it before but now I and a number of my friends know and like it.
