Havana Club Añejo Especial is a blended Cuban rum which has been aged in white oak barrels, imparting both colour and flavour. Cuban rums are generally lighter in style, and this particular spirit would make a stellar backbone to any rum cocktail.
Complex, slightly honeyed nose with hints of vanilla cream, buttery toffee, cinnamon, cedar and sandalwood.
Thick, smooth palate. Good caramel-like entry with soft fruits, spiced oak, manuka honey and cinnamon.
Citrus and vanilla on the finish. Bittersweet.

Tasted this as a miniature earlier in the year and have not looked back. I love the smooth, slightly oily (?) texture. Attractive fruit notes. One thing I would say, is that if you have had this and are thinking of trying the 7 year, in my opinion there is not 8 quid`s worth of difference, albeit the 7 year is excellent. The Especial has to be one of the best value Rum`s around.
Trying a few different rums at the moment. Always use to stick to kraken and Morgan’s spiced. This one is by far nicer and relatively inexpensive. Not as sweet and lovely to just sip neat. or a favourite of mine is to crush a lime wedge add loads of ice, a good helping of rum and some ginger beer. Delicious
Better than the 3yo and 7yo in my opinion. Cheap and cheerful easy sipper, complex for the price nothing special but a great intro
I haven't tasted a good rum for such a long time. It's my quarantine fix, being stuck in doors for so long, it's going down nicely. Thank you Ps reminds me of my holiday in Cuba.
A great rum for the price it's sweat but not overly so there's fruity/citrus notes and a wonderful creaminess to it. There's a lot to like about this rum, definitely one to try.
